Translate scanned Chinese PDFs to English
without breaking the layout

Scanned Chinese material — academic papers, business contracts, product manuals, household registration and other official documents — often arrives as image-only PDFs. Reglyph recognizes the Chinese characters, erases them, and places the English translation in the same spot so figures, tables, and seals stay put.

Dense CJK layout

Chinese packs characters tightly and mixes them with figures and tables. English translations are usually longer, so naive tools overflow the page. Reglyph fits the English back into the original blocks and keeps numbers and figures aligned.

How to translate a scanned Chinese document

1
Upload your scan

Drop in a scanned Chinese PDF or a photo of the page. Image-only files are fine — no text layer needed.

2
We read & translate

OCR extracts the Chinese text, then it's translated to English while the original text is erased from the page.

3
Download, layout intact

Get a clean PDF where tables, figures, stamps, and numbers sit exactly where they were.

Chinese → English — frequently asked

Does it work on both Simplified and Traditional Chinese?

Yes. Both Simplified and Traditional Chinese scans are recognized and translated into English.

Can it translate a scanned Chinese research paper with tables?

Yes. Tables, figures, and multi-column layouts are preserved — only the text changes language.

What about scanned handwriting?

Clean printed scans work best. Handwritten Chinese is much harder for OCR and results will vary.
