Bengali

এক যে ছিল রাজা। তাঁর ছিল মস্ত এক বাগান, আর সেই বাগানে থাকত একটি ছোট্ট হাতি।

English

Once there was a king. He had a vast garden, and in that garden lived a little elephant.

From scan to readable text in four steps

  1. 1. Extract the text

    Upload a scanned or printed PDF. OCR reads every page, including Indic scripts, and keeps page numbers aligned.

  2. 2. Review & correct

    Fix any OCR slip page by page. Your corrected text becomes the master copy everything else is built from.

  3. 3. Translate side by side

    Read the original and its translation page by page. Edit a page and only that page is re-translated.

  4. 4. Export anywhere

    Download the corrected text, or text plus translation, as Markdown, plain text or JSON.
