Yes, that's correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelove Posted October 6, 2020 at 10:00 PM Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 at 10:00 PM OK, we were able to reproduce a version of this with EPUBs and extrapolated the same idea to text files so while we can't promise it'll fix your exact problem we do at least have an attempt at it coming in 3.2.76 now ? (and if it doesn't let me know and we can try again) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xinoxanu Posted October 6, 2020 at 10:44 PM Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 at 10:44 PM Thanks Mike, will report back afterwards. This Christmas I'll ask Santa for Pleco's professional bundle because that's an amazing display of customer service and you totally deserve the love. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xinoxanu Posted October 23, 2020 at 07:34 AM Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 at 07:34 AM It's been a few days since I updated the app and the issue seems to have been resolved! The "Last book read" shortcut also works as intended, so I'll be using that from now on. ? Thanks again @mikelove 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xinoxanu Posted January 17, 2021 at 06:54 PM Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 at 06:54 PM @mikelove Lately I've been using Pleco's OCR functionality to aid my manga reading. It works great for the most part, but when it comes to whole words I was wondering if the OCR is actually built to understand vertical text (as it's common for manga)? I am confused because sometimes it does recognise not only vertical words but even vertical 成语 (and long ones at that!); while at other times it parses text as if its orientation was horizontal (I can tell because if I use Pleco's [|-->] button the word selector moves to the right). It's also worth nothing that the latter happens even if the character on the right can't be used to form a word. Regardless, maybe this could be solved by adding a toggle in the OCR settings to force vertical-only recognition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelove Posted January 17, 2021 at 10:15 PM Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 at 10:15 PM Actually we already support that - tap on the 'photo' icon and you'll see a horizontal/vertical toggle, tap on that and it should lock to that orientation from that point on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, I should have specified I am talking about Digital manga, so I guess you mean the photo icon on the Live OCR mode, right? My question is regarding the Screen Reader/Do Screen OCR mode, since that's the functionality I use to read on my tablet. Is it implemented there as well? I can't seem to find the option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xinoxanu Posted January 18, 2021 at 08:46 AM Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 at 08:46 AM Haha sorry, but I don't believe there's a support thread for Pleco (which might be a good idea to create), and I thought this could be treated as well as a new feature for Pleco 4.0 (if it isn't already ?)

Since we are at it, I'd like to put a request for that button to be added to the floating button once this option is toggled. The current placement in the corner is a little bit hard to reach and it also overlaps with the square selector. Anyway, thanks mike ? PS: I don't know how many Chinese learners read manga in Chinese, but you could definitely market Pleco as a manga reading assist-tool and even launch a separate app in the store for noticeability. Not to mention that a Japanese Pleco app would be amazing!!! Just some thoughts, since most of the work is already there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also super weird because I checked every corner of the app for these setting and somehow this option was totally invisible until Mike pointed it out! Mike, are you remotely controlling my Pleco to fool with your users... or are my eyes getting old? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
