How to translate Korean speech bubbles on NAVER WEBTOON

On NAVER, the menus and comments are ordinary page text. The Hangul spoken by the characters in 빙의 is drawn into the episode image. Start with the image containing the dialogue.

The Korean lettering is covered and the English translation appears inside the original bubble.

Read one Korean bubble in context

  1. Scroll below the episode heading to the illustrated strip. In the desktop extension preview, right-click the image and choose Translate image with CastReader.
  2. Select Korean as the image language, then your reading language. Play the translation and follow the highlighted line into the next image.
  3. Use Restore original image to compare punctuation or a faint character at the end of a bubble.

When the end of a bubble looks untidy

A white bubble in the sample left pieces of the Korean lettering visible beside a translated ellipsis. After the masking change, the five recognized passages in the test image displayed Chinese. The surrounding ink and the fine edges of a bubble are good places to compare against the original.

The successful test had Korean recognition data available. An earlier run with an empty cache failed at recognition. If the dialogue never appears, check the image language and try one clear bubble first.

Translate sends your input to CastReader’s translation service. This tool does not save your original or translated text. Clear or leave the page to end the session. Reading uses on-device voices; languages depend on your device and browser, and do not use CastReader AI reading minutes.

Before you begin

How much translation is included?

Signed out: 3,000 source characters per UTC day on this browser. Signed-in Free: 30,000 per UTC day. Pro: 3,000,000 per UTC calendar month. Signed-in usage is shared across devices and supported webpage, file, Kindle and video-caption translation. Letters and punctuation count; whitespace and protected code/formulas do not. Translation-service failures are not charged. The same successfully translated passage and target language are charged once within the same period; different segmentation or a new target language can create new usage. Daily quotas reset at 00:00 UTC, and Pro resets at 00:00 UTC on the first day of the month.

Does translating use my listening or Explain allowance?

Translation characters, cloud listening time and AI Explain requests are separate allowances. Translation itself does not start audio or consume an Explain. On-device reading remains free without a time allowance; CastReader AI reading requires sign-in and follows your listening plan. Reaching a translation limit preserves existing translations and the original; you can still listen when your selected voice has allowance. Pro users who reach their translation limit should wait for reset, not buy Pro again.
