Is there a slop-free or slop-low alternative to those tools that translate text in photos? Ideally libre, but I can work with a non-libre website.

@qwazix OCR plus translation without LLMs? It exists but isnt very good. Where do you want it? Inside of other software or a desktop app or?

@liaizon I just have some japanese instructions for a motorcycle gauge and I wanted to translate them. I could tesseract each text chunk and then copy it into libretranslate or firefox's model (I know, LLM, but at least it's small and offline) but I was wondering if there's a glens style floss app
