How to use the Kannada to English Translator?
Simply upload your Kannada document (PDF, DOCX, or image) or paste your text into the translation box. Our AI will instantly translate it to English while preserving formatting and context.
Is the Kannada to English translation free?
Yes! New users get 10 free pages as a one-time trial — no credit card required. After that, you can purchase credits to continue translating at affordable rates.
Can I translate Kannada documents to English?

How accurate is the Kannada to English translation?
Our AI achieves 95%+ accuracy by understanding context, grammar, and cultural nuances. It's trained specifically on Kannada-English language pairs for optimal results.
How to translate Kannada PDF to English?
Upload your Kannada PDF on Lekhak — even scanned or handwritten documents work. Our AI uses OCR to read the text and translates it to English while preserving the original formatting. No other tool handles scanned Kannada PDFs as accurately.
Can I translate scanned Kannada documents to English?
Yes. Lekhak specializes in scanned document translation — faded, old, or poorly scanned Kannada documents included. Our OCR engine extracts the text first, then translates it to English. This is our core strength versus other translators that only handle digital text.
Can I translate a Kannada image or photo to English?
Yes. Upload a JPG, PNG, or scanned image containing Kannada text and Lekhak will extract the text using OCR and translate it to English. This works for photos of documents, signboards, certificates, and printed books.
What is the most accurate free Kannada to English translator?
Lekhak offers one of the most accurate Kannada to English translators, especially for documents and PDFs. Unlike Google Translate which only handles plain text, Lekhak translates entire documents — PDFs, DOCX, scanned images — while keeping the original layout intact.
How to translate Kannada to English for legal documents?
Upload your Kannada legal document (court order, affidavit, agreement) to Lekhak. Our AI translates with legal terminology accuracy. For certified translation requirements, the translated text can be reviewed and certified by a human translator.
Is Kannada the same as Telugu?
No. Kannada and Telugu are both Dravidian languages but they are distinct — different scripts, grammar, and vocabulary. The Kannada script (ಕನ್ನಡ ಲಿಪಿ) has rounder letterforms compared to Telugu. Kannada has over 2,000 years of literary history and was granted classical language status in 2008. Lekhak handles both Kannada and Telugu separately with dedicated OCR and translation models.
