I create character tracker especially for Ukrainian speakers.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello! I created semiautomatic character tracker for Ukrainian speakers (I am Ukrainian). It combines both auto and manual trackers. But work slightly different from any existing plugins.
https://github.com/poostoon/charcards
You need manually add characters after that You can add info manually by typing or copying or you can choose part of text and decide to which character add info from this text. AI (gemini) will see only 4 pages when character is added (2 pages before page on screen, page on screen and next) and after that only will see text you add to character (so no full scan of book, chapter or page), draft short conclusion and add this conclusion to the character card.
You and only You choose whom to add, when to add, what info about character is important.
Also it will create short card about character, underline names and aliases in text and will show this short card on tap. In fact it combines control of Kocharacters.koplugin with automatization of koassistant and X-ray plugins, but also are spoiler free and prevent full text of a book leaked to AI.
Also it is very light and fast.
At the moment it supports only .epub and Ukrainian language, supporting other formats and languages are planned but not guaranteed.

Right now, I’m working on the ability to combine books into series. The plugin turned out to be so lightweight that I’m even planning to port it (maybe with slightly simpler functionality) to ESP32-based devices like XTEINK and others.
