Reglyph

Reglyph is a specialized translation tool for scanned PDFs and image-only documents. Unlike standard translators that require a digital text layer, Reglyph first runs optical character recognition (OCR) on the scan, then translates the text and re-typesets it in the exact same position on the page. This means tables, columns, stamps, signatures, and numbers stay where they were — no manual reformatting needed.

The process is straightforward: upload a scanned PDF or a photo of a page, and Reglyph handles recognition, translation, and layout preservation in one pass. It supports multiple language pairs including English to Japanese, Spanish to English, and English to Chinese. The tool processes documents page by page, so multi-page scans work without issues. You can try the first 5 pages free with no credit card required.

Reglyph is ideal for anyone who regularly works with scanned documents — legal professionals translating contracts, academics handling foreign-language research papers, or business users dealing with international invoices and certificates. It saves the 30–60 minutes per document that people typically spend copying original formatting back by hand after using other translation tools.
