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

Subject: [JewishGen.org] How to copy Hebrew text in a PDF and paste in google translate #yizkorbooks
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

-- The Yiddish Book Center has an ocr function to translate digital books, including Yiskor Books. An account is required, but I believe it’s free.
