Veebee Browser Extension

Uses Google Vision, DeepL, GPT, comic-text-detector, and manga-ocr to help you with translating and/or learning new languages while browing the internet in a Chrome Browser. One great use case is for reading manga/manhwa/manhua but you can use it on almost any content on the web.

Install: Chrome

Note that the extension won't work on certain origins, such as:

  • chrome origins like: chrome:// and chrome-extension://
  • the official chrome web store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions

Build Extension Locally

  1. Fill in the .env_template and rename it to .env
  2. Execute npm run start
  3. Navigate to chrome://extensions
  4. Make sure that the Developer mode switch is enabled
  5. Click on the Load unpacked button and select the dist directory

Build Backend Locally

  1. Fill in the server/.env_template and rename it to server/.env
  2. Set up GCP project (Optional if you comment out the GCP related stuff)
  3. Create your server/firebaseServiceAccountKey.json (Optional if you comment out the authentication stuff)
  4. Set up Firestore (Optional if you comment out the Firestore related code)
  5. pip install -r requirements.txt
  6. python3 main.py

This is an early Proof of Concept. If users like it, I am willing to invest more time to add various features, such as translating an entire page at a time, adding side panel to allow more space for translation details, and chat mode with GPT. Another obvious one is to add more languages. Any other feedback is very welcome!
