How to translate a Tapas comic episode panel by panel

The Beginning After the End has a comic edition. On its first episode page, a row of illustrated panels comes before the creator’s note and comments. Start translation on the panels to hear the characters.

Why the next panel can start sooner

In the linked episode the next image was available while the current one was playing. The preview prepared its opening audio, reused it at the boundary, and began speaking on the next image. A blank or still-loading panel has to arrive first.

If you see continuous paragraphs on a Tapas novel page, use webpage translation. An illustrated cover on a novel is a separate image and does not contain the chapter text.

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.
