Itsudemo Jisho v26.3.20 — Smarter OCR, Smoother Experience, Better translation
Hello fellow translators!
This update focuses on making Itsudemo Jisho feel more natural, more stable, and more accurate especially when dealing with real-world game text.
🧭 Vertical Text Support (Finally!)
Reading vertical Japanese text is now fully supported!You can configure:
Writing direction (left-to-right / right-to-left / mixed)
Letter spacing for better readabilityThis makes a big difference for visual novels and games that use traditional layouts.
Right to left writing direction:
Mixed:
🧠 Smarter Line Merging (Better Translations)
OCR usually detects text line by line, but translations work best when the text is treated as a complete paragraph.Now, Itsudemo Jisho can:
Detect related lines automatically
Merge them into a coherent paragraph
Preserve proper alignment and spacing
Result: More accurate and natural translations.
You can fine-tune this with:
Size tolerance
Alignment tolerance
Line spacing
Or disable it anytime if you prefer raw OCR output.
🔍 Gibberish Filtering (Cleaner Results)
OCR sometimes picks up noise—random symbols, UI artifacts, or unreadable characters.A new option lets you:
Filter text based on the source language (currently optimized for Japanese)
Remove invalid OCR results entirely
Clean up unwanted characters inside valid text
This keeps your overlay clean and readable, especially in busy scenes.
🎯 Reduced Jittering (Much Smoother Overlay)
If you’ve ever noticed the text flickering or redrawing because OCR kept trying to capture the animated prompt in the textbox, this update fixes exactly that.What’s improved:
Smarter redraw tolerance that ignores tiny animated‑prompt changes
Better handling of areas where OCR tends to fluctuate
Result: Less flicker, more stability.
🪟 Word Wrap Control
You can now toggle word wrapping:
Prevent text from overflowing the box
Or allow it, depending on your preference
Simple, but very useful for different game layouts.
🔧 Improved App Compatibility
Fixed an issue where some applications couldn’t be captured properly.If you had trouble before, give it another try 👍
💬 TL;DR
This update is heavily focused on real-world usability:
Cleaner text
Better grouping
Less noise
More stability
As always, thank you for your support and feedback, it directly shapes features like these.
