OCR PDF Translator
AIOCR and translate scanned PDF documents in one step
About OCR PDF Translator
A scanned document in a foreign language is doubly hard to deal with, you cannot select the text and you cannot read it either. OCR PDF Translator handles both problems in one step, reading the scanned words with OCR and then translating them into the language you choose, returning a PDF you can actually understand.
Upload your scanned PDF, pick a target language, and the tool recognizes the text and translates it, giving you back a translated PDF. It is free, browser-based, needs no signup, and your file is processed only for this task and not stored. Combining OCR and translation is convenient, but both steps can introduce small errors, so have a fluent reader verify anything important.
