Questions and answers
Does it translate Japanese to English?
No. This workflow copies recognized Japanese text. Paste it into a translator separately if needed.
Can it read vertical Japanese text?
Recognition depends on the image. Check vertical columns, punctuation and reading order rather than assuming they are correct.
