Scan Translator updates and devlog

Major changes for the browser extension and online manga translator, including text recognition improvements, screenshot workflows, upload fixes, and reading quality updates.

v3.2.0New feature

Share translations with one permanent link

Create a public link for one translated image or an entire manga chapter, then send it to friends or post it anywhere. Shared chapters keep every page in order and open without a Scan Translator account.

Completed Manga Translator bulk upload with the Share chapter button
Share a completed chapter from Manga Translator

Share from a translated image in the extension

In the extension, hover over a translated image and click Share translation to share that image or the ready pages in the chapter.

In Manga Translator, finish a bulk upload and click Share chapter to create the same kind of public page.

The permanent link is shown with a copy button and anyone can open it without signing in.

v3.1.11Extension

Comix.to working again

Comix.to image translation works again in version 3.1.11. Detection is also more reliable on narrow and responsive manga readers. If a site still doesn't work, a small toast now explains how to report it. Update your extension and reload the reader page.

If manga images are visible but the extension doesn't detect them, you'll now see a clear toast explaining what to do.

Whenever a site isn't working, email [email protected] with the page URL and we'll investigate.

v3.1.9Extension

Retry a translation in one click

AI translation models can sometimes return the wrong translation or use an unexpected language, even when you chose the right one. To try again, hover over the translated image to reveal the small menu in the top-right corner, then click Retry. This uses one credit to rerun the translation and generate a new image without repeating text detection. If text or a speech bubble was missed entirely, use Screenshot instead.

v3.1.8Extension

More manga sites work again

We improved how the extension detects and accesses manga images, including images protected against direct downloads. If a site recently showed an “image access blocked” message, update the extension and try again.

Sites that recently stopped working may now translate normally again.

Protected and lazy-loaded readers are now handled more reliably.

Still blocked? Email [email protected] with the page URL.

v3.1.7Credits

No credits spent when there is no text to translate

If Scan Translator finds no text at all to translate in an image, its reserved credit is now returned automatically.

If no text is found, the reserved credit is returned automatically.

Unlimited plan usage is restored too.

If any text is translated, the image still uses one credit.

v3.1.0Pricing

Unlimited translations are now available

Scan Translator now has a monthly unlimited plan for readers who want to translate regularly, while one-time credit packs remain available.

The plan includes 20,000 fast translations each month.

After that, you can keep translating, though it may be slower when busy.

Credits can keep translations fast until the monthly reset.

v3.0.12Extension

Screenshot patches for missed manga text

Auto translate can now stay active while Screenshot fills a missed speech bubble or small area that text detection missed.

Keep Auto Translate on while Screenshot fixes a missed bubble or small area.

Screenshot results stay on the current page and clear when the reader moves on.

The tooltip explains when Screenshot is the right tool.
