This is a transparent overlay that listens for websocket output and display it on a page that can be read by yomitan. The goal is to have a window that can be placed on top of whatever text is being read and use yomitan on it directly rather than going back and forth between a texthooker page.

Instructions

• Download the zip file in releases
• Unzip
• Run transparent-textbox.exe
• Click on the yomitan icon to open the yomitan settings page
• Import your settings and dictionaries
• Click the gear icon and set your websocket URL
• Enjoy

Future Goals

• More polish (Proper app name and icon etc.)
• Ability to read from the clipboard (if there is demand for it)
• More optimizations
• UI/UX imporvements
• Custom Font Support
