did iemitsu die in ooku?

The global political scene would probably look pretty different if Tokugawa Iemitsu had attained immortality.

(For those who don't know the premise of Ooku: it's an alternate history series covering six or seven generations of the Tokugawa shogunate, and begins in the time of Yoshimune, the eighth shogun. Iemitsu was shogun #3 and appears in what's essentially a very long flashback sequence. In absence of the Philosopher's Stone or a magic peach, Iemitsu was not going to survive the whole series.)

Useful translation tool.

Capture2Text will run OCR on a selection of Japanese text in an image and copy the results to the clipboard.

The big caveat is that, as far as I can tell, it always reads horizontally, left-to-right-then-up-to-down, meaning that you have to select columns of up-to-down-then-right-to-left text one at a time. So you can't use it to dump a whole page of text, but it looks like it'd be useful for finding a few unknown kanji quickly.

(I acknowledge that this is mostly important to me because I'm terrible at getting the Windows IME Pad to recognize my handwriting. I usually end up using my DS dictionary.)

My virus scanner keeps complaining about it, but that appears to be a false positive.
