Your PDF, translated, layout and all

Get your document, paper, report or coursebook in another language with the formatting intact. Translate the whole PDF or only the section you need — no splitting the file first.

What your PDF looks like afterwards

Tables and figures stay in place

Headings, tables, captions, headers and footers stay where they were on the page. If your PDF has a complex layout, start with a few pages and check the result before you run the whole file.

The whole PDF, or just the pages you need

Need one section rather than the entire report? Enter the page numbers — there is no need to cut those pages into a separate file and upload that.

Translated to read, narrated to listen

Choose translation with narration if you also want to listen. The PDF is still your reading copy with the formatting preserved. You can have the audio leave out headers, footers, page numbers and notes.

Keep the layout, or prepare the book for reading?

Document mode

Choose this when the layout of the original pages matters.

Book mode

Prepares the text for reading and narration, and may reflow the layout.

If the PDF contains personal data

You can turn on masking of detected names, addresses and other personal data before translation. Availability depends on your plan and your consent to cloud processing. The masking service receives the original and the translation receives only the masked text; this is not a guarantee of anonymity, and it does not remove the data from the finished PDF.

Which PDFs work

You need a PDF with a text layer. Scanned PDFs that contain only page images are not supported at the moment.

Translate and narrate books and documents

Translate a book or document and get the audio in the same language as the text, from a single upload. Listen to study and work material whenever it suits you.

Narrate text, books and documents online

Turn a PDF, Word file, EPUB or plain text into audio without translating it. Choose a voice, pick main text or full narration, and download the finished file.
