OCR Workbench

Run OCR translation for scanned PDFs and export results.

When to use OCR

Use OCR when your PDF is image-based (scanned pages) and regular text extraction is not reliable.

OCR workflow

  1. Open /ocrtranslator with an uploaded file.
  2. Confirm source and target languages.
  3. Start OCR task and wait for parsing/translation to complete.
  4. Review output and export result.

UX rules

  • When OCR page has an active document/task context, re-upload is disabled.
  • If Translate detects a high-confidence scanned PDF, users are guided here directly.
