Kaku vs Seamless
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Kaku
Kaku is a fast, powerful Japanese dictionary that stays on top of all your apps. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) technology to recognize kanji on the device screen for you (rather than the slowww tedious process of looking up individual characters manually), making it perfect for Japanese learners who want to study by reading raw manga, play untranslated games, and so on without the hassle of switching apps.
Seamless
Offline speech to text tranlator based on Seamless M4T As a standalone app Seamless can translate between English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, and Russian. Upon launching Seamless for the first time, the app will download the necessary model from Hugging Face. Please note that this is the only instance where internet permission is required. Once the model is downloaded, speech to text translation works entirely offline, ensuring your privacy and convenience. To get the most out of Seamless, follow these simple tips: - Press and hold the microphone button while speaking. - Pause briefly before starting to speak. - Speak clearly, loudly, and at a moderate pace. - Then select the target language
