It's been a while (more than a year, in fact) since the original Machine Assisted Visual Novel Reading. (If you're unfamiliar, it's recommended reading!) My programming skills have not advanced at all since then, sadly. However, for a while now, I've been using a cleaned up version of the previous script for my own purposes. Since I made a few simple but effective improvements, I figure it wouldn't hurt to spread it around, so here goes:
While the previously outlined method for automatic dictionary lookup and Visual Novels proved to be quite successful, a friend of mine mentioned that he was too lazy to poke his way through the text...

UPDATE [11/25/08]: Revised script can be found here.
While pondering a means by which I could enjoy Key's latest work, Little Busters, with my limited Japanese language ability, I discovered a lack of resources available to assist low-intermediate readers. Machine translation does naught to improve one's interpretation skill (except perhaps of "Engrish"), and those with literate reading capability don't require aids.
Thus, I have hacked together what is essentially a glorified (if even that) macro for automating the transferal of text from AGTH to Wakan and Firefox (rikaichan). All the software required to implement it is freely available on the internet. It's very simple, essentially shuffling clipboard contents around, but I hadn't really seen any discussion regarding this sort of technique in the usual places.
