ReglyphTranslate Japanese PDFs & documents to English
scanned or digital — without breaking the layout
From product manuals and spec sheets to academic articles and official forms, scanned Japanese is a frequent translation need. Reglyph OCRs the Japanese, clears it from the page, and rebuilds the English so diagrams, captions, and tables line up exactly as before.
Mixed scripts and vertical text
Japanese mixes kanji, hiragana, and katakana, and technical documents sometimes use vertical text. Reglyph handles the mixed scripts and keeps figure callouts and table cells anchored to the right place after translation.
Drag to compare — every table, figure, and number stays in place.
Common scanned Japanese documents we translate
These are the Japanese-language documents people most often translate to English — each keeps its original layout, seals, and tables.
How to translate a scanned Japanese document
Drop in a scanned Japanese PDF, a digital PDF, or a photo of the page. Image-only files are fine — no text layer needed.
OCR extracts the Japanese text, then it's translated to English while the original text is erased from the page.
Get a clean PDF where tables, figures, stamps, and numbers sit exactly where they were.
Japanese → English — frequently asked
Can it translate a scanned Japanese manual with diagrams?
Yes. Diagrams and their callout labels stay in position while the surrounding text is translated to English.
Does it read kanji, hiragana, and katakana together?
Yes. All three Japanese scripts are recognized in the same document.
Is furigana handled?
Furigana is read as part of the text; the English output focuses on the main meaning rather than reproducing reading aids.
