# ✍️ BubbleScribe

Translate manga and comics from Japanese/Korean/Chinese to any language using GLM-4.6V for OCR and LaMa for inpainting.

## Features

- 🔍 **Smart Text Detection** - GLM-4.6V detects speech bubbles and text regions
- 🌐 **Multi-language Translation** - Japanese, Korean, Chinese → Any language
- 🎨 **Clean Inpainting** - LaMa removes original text with GPU acceleration
- ✍️ **Text Overlay** - Adds translated text back to the image

## How It Works

1. Upload a manga/comic page
2. GLM-4.6V detects and translates text
3. LaMa inpainting removes original text (GPU-accelerated)
4. Translated text is overlaid on the clean image
