What's new

Vertical Text Ordering: Vertical (tategaki) text blocks are now forced to right-to-left order, even if the OCR engine reports columns from left to right. Fix: Auto Text Direction setting sometimes remaining disabled after switching to a supported Scan Mode. Fix: Repairs in Camera Mode updating the dictionary but failing to reflect on the overlay.
