Reglyph

What Reglyph Does

Reglyph is a specialized web application that translates scanned and image-only PDFs while perfectly preserving their original layout and formatting. Unlike traditional translation tools that output plain reflowed text, Reglyph maintains the visual integrity of your documents — keeping columns, tables, figures, stamps, signature lines, and numbers exactly where they were on the original page.

How It Works

Reglyph combines OCR (optical character recognition), intelligent image processing, and machine translation to deliver layout-preserving translations:

• Reads text from scanned images using advanced OCR technology • Intelligently erases source text from the original image • Translates content using machine translation engines • Precisely repositions translated text in the original locations • Maintains all visual elements including graphics, stamps, and structural formatting

Who Should Use Reglyph

Reglyph is ideal for anyone who regularly works with scanned documents across language barriers. Common users include:

• Individuals processing personal documents like birth certificates, marriage certificates, and school transcripts • Businesses handling international contracts and agreements • Researchers working with foreign-language academic papers and technical manuals • Legal professionals reviewing international documentation • Students and educators dealing with multilingual course materials

The tool supports 19 languages including Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Hindi, Portuguese, Korean, and Russian. Users can also generate bilingual side-by-side PDFs with the original on the left and translation on the right for easy reference.

Key Features

• Layout-preserving translation technology that maintains document structure • Support for complex document elements (tables, columns, figures, stamps) • 19-language support covering major world languages • Optional bilingual side-by-side PDF output • No-watermark downloads on all plans • Web-based interface requiring no software installation

Important Note

Reglyph uses machine translation, so for official submissions or legal purposes, users should have a certified translator review the output to ensure accuracy and compliance with formal requirements.
