Historically its been really hard to learn efficiently with them because of the lack of tools, this however looks quite promising it seems to combine OCR with the browser functionality of rikaichamp and yomichan.
My experience with it so far is limited having just recently found out about it, was also a little troublesome to get it set up because i didn’t have a dictionary that worked but now that it has it actually seems to work pretty well all in all.

Pressing alt + s whenever you see something you want to look up will highlight whatever text is on screen in those red boxes (and what i really like too is it pauses the game), where you then just hover over it like you ordinarily would in a browser.
Right now no idea the breadth of content it works with but i would be careful with anything that uses small low res font, and unfortunately no anki functionality yet either but im just happy to even get this far tbh hopefully it improves further.

I remember looking for something like this a while ago and didn’t found anything, so thank you for posting this !
I use this one but Yomininja looks like it can solve some complains I have with the one I’m using. Do I need to have a external tab to use it or is directly in the game?

Wish this was around when I was still learning as all of my learning right after kana was just through gaming 😭 thanks for sharing tho, it does look awesome 😁
It works pretty well, good job. One improvement to be made is to allow the OCR to ignore furigana, which can get in the way.
