How to Translate Scanned PDFs with AI | Trexlator

Scanned PDFs are essentially images of text. Traditional translation tools can't read them. However, modern AI tools with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) can.

The Challenge of Scanned Documents

Scanned documents often have:

  • Low resolution
  • Skewed text
  • Handwritten notes
  • Complex layouts

How Trexlator Handles Scans

Trexlator uses advanced OCR to "read" the text from the image. It then translates the text and overlays it back onto the original image or reconstructs the document structure, preserving the look and feel of the original scan.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Upload: Drag and drop your scanned PDF into Trexlator.
  2. Detect: The AI automatically detects it's a scan and applies OCR.
  3. Translate: Select your target language.
  4. Download: Get a fully translated, editable document.

Tips for Best Results

  • Ensure the scan is as clear as possible.
  • Avoid shadows or folded pages in the scan.
  • 300 DPI is the recommended resolution for OCR.
