Enabling OCR systems

Integrated OCR capabilities are currently available through both Google and Microsoft. You will need to obtain credentials from either provider. Both offer free plans, and beyond that, usage is billed based on consumption.

Go to Settings > Image to Text (OCR) and enable the systems you need:

What about PDF files?

If the PDF was created with a word processor and it is not a scan, then you can use Wordbee PDF Converter tool.

For PDFs with scanned pages, the individual pages can be saved as image files using a screenshot or screen capture tool. A native PDF-to-text conversion feature may be added in a future update.

PDF to Word Converter

With its built-in PDF to Word Converter, Wordbee Translator allows you to translate searchable PDF documents seamlessly, no third-party tools required. Convert and process your documents in one streamlined step.

The process is straightforward: simply upload your searchable PDF files to your Wordbee platform and process them like any other file. The built-in PDF Converter will instantly extract the content ready for translation.

The output can be delivered in either .docx or .pdf format. Please note that some layout information may be lost during conversion, so a DTP task is recommended to ensure the translated document faithfully preserves the formatting of the original.

Text embedded within images is not extracted, as the converter does not support optical character recognition (OCR).
