Torii Image Translator - AI Manga Translator by stringie
Review by panos
Rated 5 out of 5
by panos, 5 months agoSo the firefox extension works very well on a couple of manga websites I tested.
The choice of LLMs has increased and the brand new 2.5 flash has been added!
For manga reading the 2.0 is more than enough but I think that adding the image context option helps a lot.
For those who leave low star reviews because it's paid, please take into account that nothing in this life is free. This extension, apart from coding the extension itself, requires a service that runs in the background, and API calls to the LLM providers. All of these cost money, and you have to have the actual skills to do it. Most of the "low star because it's paid" reviewers have absolutely no idea how stuff work, could never do it on their own, and still expect it to be free.
Please appreciate the effort that has gotten into this, the ongoing running costs, the ease of use that it provides, which would be unimaginable a few years ago and the really really low amount of money it requires from the end user.
Google lens might be "free", but even if we don't consider the inconvenience, it feeds on your data, so it's not really free. Nothing in life is free. Perhaps the air we breathe, but I have doubts.
Great work stringie! I'd give 6 stars if I could.

posted 5 months agoI really appreciate your kind review panos. Means a lot to me to hear something nice, haha. For a moment, there was a streak of bad reviews and I got worried. I don't know why people aren't more reasonable with their expectations. I guess everyone is annoyed that everything in their life wants their money, which I understand. Still, it's very disheartening to hear bad reviews after putting a whole year's worth of effort into improving Torii. Nonetheless, I'll keep improving Torii to make it the best on the internet and hopefully there will be people like yourself who appreciate it.
