Description
Reglyph is a specialized tool designed to translate scanned and image-only PDF documents without disrupting their original layout. Unlike standard translators that struggle with image-based PDFs, Reglyph employs Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to accurately read the text within the images. This process ensures that even documents without an underlying digital text layer, which often result in gibberish or blank pages with other tools, are processed correctly.

The core functionality of Reglyph involves erasing the original text from the scanned page and then precisely re-typesetting the translated text back into the same position. This meticulous approach guarantees that elements such as columns, tables, figures, stamps, seals, signatures, and numeric values retain their exact original placement. This feature is particularly crucial for documents where layout integrity is paramount, such as birth certificates, academic transcripts, bank statements, medical records, legal documents, and even old books or manuscripts.
Reglyph eliminates the need for manual reformatting or retyping after translation, a common time-consuming task with other workflows. Users simply upload their scanned PDF, and the platform handles the recognition, translation, and re-layout in a single pass. It supports documents up to 300 pages and 100 MB per upload. For paper pages, users can scan them into a PDF using a phone's scanner app, and existing photos need to be saved as PDFs first.
The service supports translation into 19 languages and offers a side-by-side bilingual PDF output option. While it provides machine translation, the owner advises having a certified translator review the results for official submissions. Reglyph offers a flexible pricing model, starting with 5 free pages upon sign-up, with no credit card required. Subsequent translations can be done on a pay-as-you-go basis at $0.30 per page (with a $3 minimum) or through monthly subscription plans starting from $9.
