YuzuLingo vs EasyOCR (JaidedAI)
YuzuLingo covers burned-in subtitles on the video you are already watching, including YouTube, Bilibili, and other web players. You do not prepare an image or a video file. Turn on Interact to read the burned-in line on your device, with furigana or pinyin when the language has them, and a transcript of the lines in that session. Show that text always, on hover, or while you hold a hotkey.
EasyOCR is JaidedAIās Python library on GitHub. You install it with pip and point it at a still image: a file, a screenshot, or a URL. It returns the text and where it sits in the picture. They say it supports 80+ languages, and you can pass more than one language in the same image. It does not cover burned-in subtitles on a web player.
