Situation: I got a scanned book that I'd like to read that is in chinese and has no available translation. I really want to read it, because it would probably help a lot with my university project.

What I tried: tried creating a version with ocr to get a text layer and use some translation tool on it, but found no way to make the ocr text visible. I also tried this tool, but the ocr didn't work for me, and I found no way to use it with some local model

Have any of you ever done a similar task? I'd appreciate any kind of suggestions and tips.
