Does Interact download recognition data?
Yes — the first time you use Interact or Translate on hardsubs for a language, YuzuLingo may download recognition data for that script and keep it on your device. Soft caption tracks and Cover do not download that data.
Prerequisites
The extension is installed.
Steps
When a download happens
- Turn Mode to Interact or Translate on a zone, with at least one language chip selected.
- If that script’s recognition data is not on the device yet, the extension downloads it once, then recognizes the burned-in line.
What does not download OCR data
- Cover only draws blur or solid — no recognition download.
- Site Soft subtitle tracks use caption text already on the page; they do not fetch hardsub recognition data.
