Tesseract neural net (LSTM) based OCR engine

This looks like a competent python script.
I guess the reason there is little interest here is because people rarely want to know what's in a foreign language speech balloon.

I've often wondered if North Koreans even have cartoons? Apparently no.

great work, i have been searching for such solution for years and it really worked.
thanks so much for such effort, but i have some errors:
1. the google chrome cant open because i have x64 version of chrome and i cant install x84 version.
2. the google translate token gives error , i guess its because of token

i guess that googletrans library need upgrade like mentioned in stackoverflow question 52455774, as im not allowed to post urls
