How Lekhak's OCR Technology Works

Three stages from raw image to translated text

📷

Image Analysis

MARKER OCR analyses the raw image, detecting text regions, tables, columns, and reading direction even in rotated or skewed pages.

🔎

Character Recognition

Each character is identified using a neural model trained on real-world degraded documents, handling mixed fonts, multiple scripts, and handwritten annotations.

🌐

AI Translation & Validation

Extracted text passes through Gemini AI translation, then a validation agent checks for truncation, recitation errors, and accuracy before final output.

Scan Quality Lekhak Handles

Designed for the documents that break every other OCR tool

🔋

Faded & Aged Documents

Old contracts, historical records, and ink-faded pages where text is barely visible to the naked eye.

🔄

Skewed & Rotated Pages

Documents scanned at an angle or upside down are automatically deskewed before text extraction.

📵

Low-Resolution Scans

Even 72 DPI phone photographs of documents yield acceptable OCR accuracy with Lekhak's preprocessing pipeline.

📃

Multi-Column Layouts

Newspapers, legal briefs, and academic papers with two or more columns are read in correct reading order.

📝

Handwritten Annotations

Margin notes, signatures, and handwritten corrections are recognized and included in the extracted text.

📋

Tables & Forms

Structured data in tables and form fields is preserved in its original grid layout in the translated output.

Who Uses OCR PDF Translation

Real-world scenarios where OCR translation makes the difference

Digitizing Old Archives

Transform your physical archives into a searchable and translatable digital library. Lekhak's OCR accurately extracts text from aging documents, preserving valuable information and making it accessible to a wider audience. This is crucial for historical societies, libraries, and organizations with extensive paper-based records that need to be translated and preserved for future generations.

Translating Scanned Contracts

Quickly translate scanned contracts and legal documents without the hassle of manual retyping. Lekhak ensures accurate text recognition, enabling you to understand the terms and conditions in your preferred language and facilitating international business transactions. This eliminates the risk of errors associated with manual translation and speeds up the review process.

Processing Immigration Documents

Simplify the translation of scanned immigration documents, such as passports, visas, and birth certificates.
