OCR tool

Turn complex PDFs and images into editable translation files

Recover text and structure from scanned, image-based, or difficult PDFs. Clean the extracted content, translate it in LanguageOps, and deliver an editable HTML or DOCX file instead of trapping the result in another image.

Recover usable content

A scanned document should not require manual retyping

OCR creates the text, but translation teams also need reading order, headings, tables, and usable output. LanguageOps connects extraction and cleanup directly to the language workflow.

  • Read image-based text

    Recognise text in scanned pages, screenshots, and image-heavy PDFs that do not contain a usable text layer.

  • Recover document structure

    Reconstruct useful reading order and editable structure from multi-column pages, headings, lists, and other complex layouts.

  • Translate and correct

    Review OCR results, fix recognition errors, and translate the extracted content with memory, terminology, QA, and human approval.

How it works

From inaccessible source to editable delivery

  1. Upload

    Add the PDF or image

    Provide scanned pages, an image-based document, or a complex PDF that needs editable content.

  2. Extract

    Run OCR and recovery

    LanguageOps identifies text and structure, then prepares the result as editable content.

  3. Translate

    Correct and localise

    Review recognition issues, translate the content, and run terminology and quality checks.

  4. Export

    Create a clean file

    Deliver an editable HTML or DOCX output containing the completed translated content.

Designed for difficult source material

OCR that leads somewhere useful

The output is prepared for the next stage of work rather than delivered as an unstructured block of recognised text.

  • Complex page handling

    Work with documents where columns, sidebars, headers, and visual structure make basic text extraction unreliable.

  • Recognition review

    Let a human correct names, numbers, broken words, and other OCR uncertainties before they propagate into translation.

  • Full translation workflow

    Move extracted content through translation memory, terminology, AI assistance, review, proofreading, and QA.

  • Editable output

    Export clean HTML for flexible publishing or DOCX for familiar document editing and client delivery.

FAQ

OCR workflow questions

Can LanguageOps process scanned PDFs?
Yes. OCR recognises text in scanned or image-based pages and prepares editable content for correction, translation, and review.
What happens with complex page layouts?
The workflow is designed to recover useful reading order and structure from difficult documents. A human can then review the extracted result before translation.
Can we translate the extracted content in the same platform?
Yes. The editable result moves into the LanguageOps translation workflow with memory, terminology, AI assistance, review, and QA.
Which editable formats can we export?
The completed content can be exported as clean HTML or an editable DOCX file.
