Translate Scanned PDF
A scan in a language you cannot read is two problems: no text layer, wrong language. This flow solves both — free OCR recognizes the words, AI translation renders them in your language. AI usage is metered in AI Credit: signed-in free users get 50 AI Credit per month, guests get 0, and paid plans include more.

Two steps, one flow
OCR first: the scan's text is recognized in its source language (pick it — accuracy depends on it). Then translation: the recognized text is translated with context awareness. Each step's quality feeds the next.
Quality compounds — so does error
A blurry scan recognizes imperfectly, and translation amplifies recognition errors. Use the sharpest scan available, and treat output from poor scans as a gist, not a rendering. AI can make mistakes — always review important output before relying on it. Translation is metered by pages per month on your plan.
