Can I translate a Yoruba image or photo to English?
Yes. Upload a JPG, PNG, or scanned image containing Yoruba 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 Yoruba to English translator?

How to translate Yoruba to English for legal documents?
Upload your Yoruba 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.
Does Lekhak handle Yoruba tone marks and diacritics correctly?
Yes. Yoruba uses special diacritical marks (dots below letters and accent marks) that are essential for meaning. Lekhak's OCR and AI models are trained to recognize these tone marks accurately in both typed and scanned text, ensuring correct translation unlike basic translators that ignore diacritics.
