Dev Blog #2 - New OCR engine

OCR engine upgrade!

We're currently working on integrating a new Optical Character Recognition engine, which will greatly increase both the speed of the OCR process as well as the accuracy of capturing text. This is super exciting - it is one step closer to supporting fullscreen translations & games with fonts that have a custom look. Want to understand OCR in GameTranslate a little bit more? Read this.

There is one caveat though..

The new engine will only support Windows 10+ and graphics cards that have support for DirectX 12. Considering that both Windows 10 and DX12 were released in 2015, this shouldn't affect any current users of GameTranslate. For anyone who may be running their computer with an older graphics card - don't worry, we will continue to provide access to the old engine.
