Pretty much the best one straight Outta the box.

Would've been even cooler if I could also use my own api keys ngl

Works wonderfully. However it's too expensive, and without localized pricing it becomes harder for non-Americans. The inpainting/rendering must be the most computationally intensive part. Why not just create text overlays using HTML & CSS tools instead? Just instead text boxes at the coordinates of the text and set its backdrop-filter to blur. At least consider that for a cheaper tier.

So the firefox extension works very well on a couple of manga websites I tested.
The choice of LLMs has increased and the brand new 2.5 flash has been added!
For manga reading the 2.0 is more than enough but I think that adding the image context option helps a lot.

For those who leave low star reviews because it's paid, please take into account that nothing in this life is free. This extension, apart from coding the extension itself, requires a service that runs in the background, and API calls to the LLM providers. All of these cost money, and you have to have the actual skills to do it. Most of the "low star because it's paid" reviewers have absolutely no idea how stuff work, could never do it on their own, and still expect it to be free.

Please appreciate the effort that has gotten into this, the ongoing running costs, the ease of use that it provides, which would be unimaginable a few years ago and the really really low amount of money it requires from the end user.

Google lens might be "free", but even if we don't consider the inconvenience, it feeds on your data, so it's not really free. Nothing in life is free. Perhaps the air we breathe, but I have doubts.

Great work stringie! I'd give 6 stars if I could.

best ai translation known to man

I can confidently say that this is the best extension for translating text in images, and it is very accurate.

People who are writing poor reviews for something that requires payment for use are being quite inconsiderate of the developer. There are alternative addons that allow you to translate locally that are free... but this one provides translations using another method. This requires no knowledge of Python, hosting servers, or anything of the sort.

The translations are (usually) pretty good. The text is as impressive as a typical Google translate result... but what I'm more impressed about is it's ability to overlay the foreign text with the translated text. If you can afford 5 bucks for a good amount of translations... then I say it's worth the money.

Removed, paid.

Works well but I might rather just suffer with google lenses then pay for machine translation.

It is nice that they charge per token rather than th bs subscription model

Amazing Translator! Highly Recommend

Better extension of all the time!!!

:D

So, I liked this extension at first and wanted to give 4 stars because this button is always present in the image, overlapping it. But then I found an untranslated text. Then, at some point in time, the extension just ate up 2 trial translations, not translating in the end! What if I paid for this fake translation? Would anyone give me a refund? No, of course, this is an ordinary force majeure, you say! Well, the Internet connection may be poor or just the server froze for a moment... But I'm not happy with that, I'd rather spend time on a one-minute promotional video, although I'd be annoyed too, but it would still be cheaper. Therefore, I would rather stay on online translators, they work more stable and for free.

I'm giving this four-star rating review solely based upon the way the developer has given a (what appears to be) a direct & sincerely genuine real-life human response to the positive & negative user posted reviews. I haven't yet tried out the extension to give the actual product of topic a rated review. Which is honestly why I only gave 4-star and not a 5-star review🤷🏿‍♂️

The add-on is great. Exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, it's not free, and I can't justify the cost right now. However, if there were an option to watch an ad for 1–2 credits each time, I'd use it without hesitation and gladly leave a 5-star review.

I really hope you consider adding this feature. Keeping the subscription while offering an ad-based credit system would make this an absolute hit. Wishing you the best of luck with the add-on.

At first I gave it 3 stars but after a little reconsideration I changed it into a 4.

It's pretty good but sometimes a few characters slip through and end up not getting translated.

Unfortunately since I live in a third-world country I can't pay to use the extension because it's way too expensive where I live. Bummer. :/

Cannot login due to a weird login flow that probably not compatible with Google container extension that I have.

I'm enjoying it so far! It does a decent job with translating.

It does have a fee per image translated, but it is probably cheaper than a subscription model translator for people that don't translate that many images per month. Gets cheaper if you buy the points in bulk. Right now the lowest costing option is 1,250 to 2,500 images for about $6 at the time of this review, depending on which translation model that you pick.

It's one of the few image translators for Firefox. Works on Firefox for Android! Most browser extension translators for images are on Google Chrome, but the official mobile Chrome app doesn't support extensions. I find that this extension is one of the better options out there thanks to how it's a bit more friendly for people like me who use both PC and Android.

Comes with some additional features that I don't see on all extensions. Things like matching the color of the translated text with the original text. If text is covering something, you are allowed to erase it.

The auto-translation feature doesn't carry over to new tabs and refrains from translating every tab that I have opened! Thanks for doing that! Many extensions disregard doing that and it matters a lot when we are on a point per image system.

One setting that I recommend disabling for moderate users is "Should Torii be enabled on every new page." The extension seems to do a good job of keeping track of websites you want to have the extension enabled on as it is. No need to have it enabled on all new tabs, unless you are browsing every webpage on a search engine.



Edit (1/27/25): I'll add some feedback. Something people might not like is the user interface. I kind of wish that there were more settings options for the UI to personalize it.

It's like a watermark that appears upon an image if you touch (mobile) or mouse-over (PC) said image. This means that on full-screen image websites, such as manga or comics, it can be present the whole time on such websites. A setting that might help with this is to let us adjust the opacity of the icon to our own preference for when there is no mouse-over/touch event to the icon directly. Out of sight, out of mind.

The current UI button also requires just one tap/click to start the translation. I think I might like an option to require a double tap/click to start a translation, to prevent my fat thumb from tapping it by mistake on mobile.

Not Free

It works great!

Also the new pricing model is better!
