+#### Building Game2text From Source on the Steamdeck
+
+See: [Game2Text](https://github.com/mathewthe2/Game2Text)
+
+Install the prerequisites
+```bash
+# This will install tesseract and data for horizontal and vertical japanese
+./scripts/install_tesseract_jpn
+# This will install virtualenv which we will need for building game2text from source
+./scipts/install_virtualenv
+# This will install the prerequisites to build game2text
+sudo steamos-readonly disable
+sudo pacman base-devel glibc linux-api-headers zlib cmake python3 gcc nodejs npm libffi openssl rust tk tcl
+sudo steamos-readonly enable
+```
+
+Clone Game2Text and prepare its directory contents for building
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/mathewthe2/Game2Text.git
+cd Game2Text
+virtualenv venv --python='/usr/bin/python'
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install virtualenv
+```
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]  
+> Before continuing
+> 1. Replace `==` with `>=` for the versions in `requirements.py`
+> 2. In `config.ini` replace `browser = default` with `browser = chromium`. See: https://game2text.com/faq/switch-browser/ 
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+deactivate
+```
+
+You can now run game2text natively in `Game2Text/` via
+
+```bash
+source venv/bin/activate
+python game2text.py
+deactivate
+```
+
 ### Installing MPV and mpvacious
