How to copy Hebrew text in a PDF and paste in google translate #yizkorbooks
|
jswanson861@...
I would like to translate (even roughly) parts of a Yizkor book that is in Hebrew. I can access the book via the New York Public Library as a webpage or as a PDF document. I think the PDF was made from jpgs. I can copy the Hebrew text from the PDF, but when I paste it in google translate it looks like nonsense. I tried to save the PDF as a Word doc, but most (but not all) of the Yizkor book pages were nonsense.
Is there a way to copy Hebrew text and have it remain as Hebrew text? thanks, John John C. Swanson Historian |

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software has worked well for me. I use Readiris Pro but there others.

I did a web search for "translate pdf document from hebrew to english" (without the quotes)
These two might do what you want. You will need to upload the pdf page into the web interface Google Translate-Documents Select the input and output languages, then upload the document. https://translate.google.com/?hl=en&tab=TT&sl=de&tl=en&op=docs GroupDocs PDF translate This link has the languages pre-set. https://products.groupdocs.app/translation/pdf/hebrew-english Good luck, Laurie Sosna San Francisco, CA |
