Can I translate scanned Punjabi documents to English?
Yes. Lekhak specializes in scanned document translation — faded, old, or poorly scanned Punjabi 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 Punjabi image or photo to English?
Yes. Upload a JPG, PNG, or scanned image containing Punjabi 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 Punjabi to English translator?
Lekhak offers one of the most accurate Punjabi 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 Punjabi to English for legal documents?
Upload your Punjabi 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.
Can Lekhak translate both Gurmukhi and Shahmukhi Punjabi?
Lekhak currently supports Gurmukhi script (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ) used in Indian Punjab. Shahmukhi (the Perso-Arabic script used in Pakistani Punjab) can be translated using our Urdu to English translator since the script is very similar. Both scripts represent the same spoken language but are written differently.
