Dear Hugging Face Team,

I am applying for a ZeroGPU community grant for my project "Manga Translator." This AI-powered tool translates Japanese manga panels into English in real-time, making it accessible to a global audience.

Key Features:

  • Finds the bounding boxes of the speech bubbles using a self trained Object Detection Model
  • Extracts text from manga images using manga_ocr
  • Translates text from Japanese to multiple languages
  • Overlays translated text onto original manga panels

Technical Needs:
ZeroGPU is crucial for efficient manga page processing and running my custom translation model. My current CPU-based space takes 30-45 seconds per operation, which ZeroGPU would significantly reduce.

Impact:
"Manga Translator" currently averages 300 visitors, demonstrating clear demand and potential for growth.

Thank you for considering my application.

Best regards,
Denis Topallaj
