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.
Working from paper? Scan and translate Chinese to English — how to get a usable scan, and what happens to it.
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.
These are the Chinese-language documents people most often translate to English — each keeps its original layout, seals, and tables.
Drop in a scanned Chinese PDF (one from your phone's scanner app works) or a digital PDF. Image-only PDFs are fine — no text layer needed.
OCR extracts the Chinese text, then it's translated to English while the original text is erased from the page.

Yes — upload a Chinese PDF and download an English one. It goes beyond format conversion: the pages are OCR'd, translated, and re-typeset, so you get an English document with the original tables, seals, and figures still in place.
It replaces the translating, not the certification. The complete English document, seals in place, is ready in minutes; if your receiving office requires a certified translator's signature, they review this draft rather than starting from the scan.

Vision models genuinely read scans now. The question isn't whether ChatGPT can translate your PDF — it's whether a chat reply is actually what you need back.
