A little familiarity is necessary to operate the current application, but it seems to improve as follows.

MagicReader still has plenty of parts that are not enough as a leader application, and I'd like to respond promptly in order to fill those holes in the future. In addition to improving the accuracy of face recognition, we will also add other essential functions for e-books in addition to other aspects such as horizontal screening, aiming for a more easy-to-use e-book reader.

Furthermore, as a method of turning the page, it is said that the implementation of two kinds of page turning by "Close one eye (wink)" and "sound" is being verified.
