happydays Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I've scanned a Thai document & saved it on my hard drive. First I tried to upload it directly to Google Translate but it just produced a bunch of hieroglyphics. I then tried uploading it to Google docs which is supposed to allow you to save it as a Microsoft Office file but again it just resulted in gibberish. Has anyone found a way to translate Thai documents to English? I know Google Translate isn't very accurate but at least it gives you a clue.

yoslim Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) You would need an OCR software that works for Thai have a look in this thread http://www.thaivisa....nguage-enabled/ currently your scan is just a picture, you need to convert the scan to thai characters the computer can read. That is what the OCR software will do Edited September 19, 2012 by yoslim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happydays Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Success! First I used ABBYY Finereader to create a Microsoft Word document. Then I used Google Translate to create an Enlish version - not good English but enough to understand. Thanks to Yoslim for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
