Novels in Text Form? - HououinKyouma - 2012-10-14
Is there an easy way to convert novels which are in picture form (png, jpeg, etc) to text (.txt for example)? Does software exist that can do this? If not, are there any good sources of text novels. My main interest is light novels, but any sort of literature would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

There are definitely different kinds of software out there that can read text off of an image, but aside from that you can find a lot of older texts at: http://www.aozora.gr.jp/
It's like the Gutenberg project for Japanese basically
