Frequently Asked Questions

Two engines work in series: OCR extracts the original text from the photo, then a large-language-model translator renders it into your target language with context awareness. Idioms, menu items, brand names and short signs translate cleanly. For long literary passages, expect the same quality as a top-tier consumer translator like DeepL or Google Translate.

quality

Yes. English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Turkish, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai and Indonesian are supported in both directions. Translate French → English, Japanese → Spanish, Chinese → Hindi and any other pair across the supported set.

features

Clean block-letter handwriting and chalkboard menus work in most cases — the OCR is tuned for everyday signage and casual handwriting. For cursive, dense handwritten letters or doctor's prescriptions, use our Handwriting OCR tool first to extract the text, then paste it into a translator for higher accuracy.

usage

Yes. One upload triggers OCR, language detection, translation and side-by-side display. You can also see the original text on the left and the translation on the right, making it useful for language learners who want to compare phrasings. Tap a word to hear its pronunciation in the target language.

features

Uploads are processed and auto-deleted within minutes. Translation history is not saved on the server — your last result is held only in your browser tab and clears when you close the page. That makes the tool safe for travel emergencies, medical leaflets and personal correspondence translations.

privacy

Yes. Copy buttons give you the original, translated, or both side-by-side in one click. Download buttons export plain .txt for notes, or a simple .docx for sharing with colleagues. Travelers paste it into WhatsApp; students paste it into Notion; agencies paste it into translation memory tools for cleanup.
