4.2 out of 5
Scored by a Toolio reviewer after real useOur verdict
Scan Translator reads text out of manga panels, including vertical Japanese layouts and horizontal Korean manhwa formats, then translates it into more than 80 languages without leaving the page. New accounts start with 30 free credits that sync across devices once you sign in. With a 4.2-star rating from over 300 reviews it has a solid track record, though heavy readers will burn through free credits fairly quickly.
