Hello, dear friends and blog guests! In this short but informative article, I will try to tell you a very necessary thing. As you probably already guessed from the title, this is how to translate text from a photo from any language and into any language. There are such cases among bloggers, or it is simply necessary to urgently copy the desired text from a picture and translate it into some language. But this can be somewhat problematic! Since the text from the photo is not copied separately and you simply cannot convert it to text mode. What to do in such cases? Is there a way out of this? Of course there is! This is what I will tell you about now. Go …
Having found myself in a situation where I needed to very urgently and quickly translate text from a photo from English into Russian, I honestly was somewhat confused and plunged into a slight stupor. Having surfed the Internet and looked for special online services that offer their services for translating pictures into text, I was also a little disappointed. Many of them did not cope with my task at all, and some only halfway (the translation was so disgusting that it was simply terrible!). Other online services for recognizing texts from pictures simply produced some kind of gibberish instead of coherent text.
Here is this translator who translates text from photos online quickly, efficiently and from any language in the world - Yandex translate
Did you guess it? Surely! What other online translator can help us besides Yandex?!
All you need to do is follow the link above and upload the desired picture with text in almost any language in the world, and click on the button to translate. All! Your picture with the existing text will be immediately translated correctly and you will also be able to copy this text. It is very practical and convenient! Here's a look at the screenshots of how to translate text from a photo online in Yandex translator:
Now one clear example of translating a picture into text in the Yandex translator. When you have uploaded your picture, then the Yandex text recognition service, after clicking on the “Open in translator” button:
It will immediately translate for you the required text from a photo or picture into any world language you specify. Here's how to “translate photos to text online” in the screenshot:
Now you know how to quickly and efficiently translate any picture or photo that contains text.
In today's age of globalization, we can often find photographs with text in English. If you know the language of Shakespeare and Byron, great, but what about non-English users who want to know the meaning of the English words in the picture? In this case, a number of tools that can perform recognition and quick translation can help us. Below we will look at which translators from English into Russian for any photo are available to us absolutely free of charge, and how to work with them.
Text recognition from photos is performed using OCR technology (“Optical Character Recognition” - optical character recognition). This technology has not yet reached the level of ideal operation, and continues to improve. Accurate recognition and translation is possible if there is a clear image in the photo, when the letters are separated from each other. They are also painted in a contrasting color, different from the surrounding background.
OCR technology allows you to recognize text in an image
At the same time, the primacy in translation and recognition technologies belongs to large companies such as Google, Microsoft, Yandex and a number of others that are able to invest significant financial resources in research. The quality of the tools they provide is at a high level and is not comparable to competing products from other developers.
When recognizing texts, Google uses the "Tesseract OCR" tool, previously purchased from HP
Let's look at which photo translators in different languages can be used for free.
Of course, Google translator (Android, iOS) is top class. In addition to the direct text translation function, it allows you to translate images, as they say, “on the go,” simply by pointing the camera of your smartphone at the inscription.
Google Translate lets you translate images on the go
To work with the translator, just launch it and click on the camera icon. You can either use your phone to translate on the go, or download the photo you need from your phone’s memory. And convert text from English to Russian using a photo for free.
Click on the camera icon
“Microsoft Translator” (Android, iOS) is very similar to the Google translator we mentioned above, except that it does not have the function of instantly translating photos.
Main differences from Google Translator:
And make no mistake, this application is not just a photo translator from English to Russian or any other online language. It can translate voice and text, and supports more than 60 languages. You can even have bilingual conversations by having two people literally place a phone between them and take turns speaking. Great, isn't it?
Although the developers highlight the voice and vocabulary elements of this program, the iTranslate app (Android, iOS) does have photo translator capabilities for its professional version, which we can't help but mention.
This feature is called "iTranslate Lens". This is the same point-and-translate option, but an important feature of the program is the ability to manipulate the size of the translation window and move it. You can expand or shrink it so that any text found inside your field will be converted. Unlike the first two apps, which place the work window at a dead center on the screen, in iTranslate you can drag it wherever you want. And, when your photo translation is done, you have the opportunity view results in full screen for unobstructed viewing. Very comfortably.
The professional version of iTranslate works well with photos
Online services are a convenient tool for transforming text from English into Russian using a photograph. They do not require installation of additional programs on your PC (smartphone) and provide fast translation. At the same time, the quality of their recognition is generally inferior to specialized mobile translator applications, which we will consider below.
To work with such services just upload the desired photo with English text to them. Further, if necessary, it is necessary select the inscription on the image for translation and start the recognition procedure. In just a second or two you will get the desired result.
We are considering online services for translation from photos
Yandex is famous for the quality of the digital products it creates. So in our case, her service for translating text in a picture online is one of the best options. Working with it is very simple, convenient, and the recognition results obtained are at a high level.

NewOCR.com is a free OCR service that can recognize and translate photo captions in many languages.

The service's tools allow you to select places in the photo that need to be recognized, which increases the efficiency of the service.
Greetings, dear user and, undoubtedly, a lover of gadgets based on the iOS operating system - iPhone and iPad. In today's short article, we will talk about a wonderful tool that appeared on smartphones relatively recently, but has already gained enormous popularity among users. The tool we will talk about today is a photo translator.
With this tool you can translate any text in a matter of seconds, just by taking a photo of it.
Agree, it is very convenient, especially when you travel. I have made for you a selection of photo translators for iOS (iPhone and iPad), which will allow you to choose the right tool for yourself. I selected each photo translator according to the following principles:
So let's get to the selection. You can find links to all the tools offered in the selection in the description of each photo translator. Attention: in order to immediately download the necessary photo translator to your mobile gadget, I recommend following the suggested links directly from it.
A good iOS photo translator application allows you to quickly and easily translate signs by simply photographing them. I would like to note that this application was made by our compatriot, which, as it were, naturally implies that it is best used for translation into Russian. Of all the features of this application, I would like to highlight the following three:
You can download this photo translator using the link located under the title above..
Translator, photo translator, dictionary, in general, a universal tool for iOS – iPhone and iPad. If you want a program that has everything at once, then use this tool. I would like to note the following features::
Simple, lightweight and iPad. I would like to mention the following possibilities::
That's all for today, I hope you have chosen a suitable iOS (iPhone and iPad) tool for yourself - photo translator.
Good day everyone!
Probably, almost each of us has come across photographs, pictures, and simply seen posters somewhere in a foreign language. And almost always, I would like to quickly translate and find out what is written there...
In general, in this case you can go in three ways:
Actually, this article will be about the third option. I note that in the article I will consider photo translators for both PCs and smartphones.
Note: I’ll immediately note that the better the quality of the source photo (picture), the better will be the quality of the recognized text from it, and the translation itself.
An excellent translation service from one language to another (it already supports more than 95 languages!). As for recognizing text in a picture, the Yandex service does an excellent job of this task (in no way inferior to the famous Fine Reader program).
In my example, I used a photo of a book page (in English). The steps for translation are quite simple:
Left: the original text that was in the photo is presented, right is its translation. Of course, machine translation requires some work: you can copy the finished text and transfer it to Word for further development (I note that the quality of the translation also depends on the subject of the text. And since I took fiction, it is not translated very well).
Supports formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PDF, DjVu
Unlike Yandex, this service is less picky - it even supports the DjVu format (and it has quite a lot of English books, magazines, and articles).
In addition, I note that some photos (where rare fonts are used) are recognized by the service much better! And one more thing: the service allows you to use two translation options: using Google technology and using Microsoft Translator. So, if there are pictures or photos that Yandex translator couldn’t handle, try this service!
How to use it:
After some time (depending on the size of the downloaded file), you will see the resulting text and several links above: you can select Google translator, Bing, or simply download the resulting text.
By choosing Bing, I received a translation of my text (the quality is not high, because the work is fiction).
A very decent application for a smartphone that allows you to translate text into 103 languages (I note that it supports 59 languages offline - i.e. no Internet required!)!
The application has a built-in camera translation function in real time: i.e. Just point your phone camera at the English text - and you will see the text in Russian in the translator window! However, there is also a classic work in the arsenal: this is when a picture is photographed in a foreign language, and then the text is processed and output in Russian (for example).
It's quite simple to use:
Then click on the “Select All” button and click on the blue arrow. Next you will see your translation of the text. See screenshots below.
In general, everything is done very high quality and convenient. As a rule, almost everyone carries a phone with them, which means you can always quickly translate a poster or photo. I recommend you check it out!
Several languages are available for free use: Russian, English, German, French, Spanish.
This smartphone application allows you to translate many sentences, phrases and words without access to the Internet. In total, the application supports three types of translation:
In general, a good assistant for travel, study and work. You can quickly translate a small text, a postcard, a newspaper article, correspondence with a colleague/friend, etc.
Peculiarities:
If you have anything to add, thanks in advance!
That's all, good luck everyone!
In the modern world, knowledge of one language is no longer enough - globalization, social networks and instant messengers allow you to communicate with friends in any country. And it doesn’t matter if your knowledge of a foreign language is still at an insufficient level, online services will help you grasp the general meaning. Moreover, they now have a function with which you can even translate from English into Russian using photographs. Let's look at the most popular resources for this:
Let's start with a domestic service for translating text from English into Russian from photographs online. Yandex Translator in photo mode is available at https://translate.yandex.by/ocr .
Previously, the service was able to work exclusively with text content written by the user or taken from the site at the specified address, but now it also supports text recognition from an uploaded image. At the same time, translating photos into text online is completely free, you don’t even need registration.
In the upload field, you can drag the image onto the page from a folder open in the OS, or click on the “Select file” link and specify the exact path to the file.
Yandex online photo translation works with both regular photos and screenshots. For example, you can “feed” him a screenshot of a page from an English-language resource.
The service has one drawback: by default, it does not show the entire processed file at once. To view the translation from English. in Russian you need to click on the desired area of the photo. The Russian version for this fragment will be displayed.
To go to the text version of the translator, click on the corresponding link in the upper right corner. It is very convenient if you need to copy finished text after recognition from a photo online. There are also buttons for assessing the quality of the translation (like/dislike on the right) and a tool for suggesting your own options (pencil).
You can switch the translation of text from English into Russian using a photograph to the mode of working with individual words.
It’s convenient to work this way if you already understand the general message, but want to clarify certain points.
The third mode is translation along lines (strings). The system sometimes selects not the entire line, leaving the last characters unprocessed.
The plus and minus signs in the upper left corner or the scroll wheel on the mouse are responsible for scaling the image. And to move the image when enlarging, you need to drag it with the left button while holding down Ctrl.
To finish processing the current file and upload a new one, use the cross icon on the right.
In general, the photo translator from English to Russian online leaves a very pleasant impression, and not only because it works for free. Many languages are supported, although some are in beta status.
Sentences in Russian are similar to natural language and can often be used without editing.
An alternative option is an online translator from English into Russian using a photo from your phone in the Google application ( http://bit.ly/2CWvhQy ).
At the same time, Google promises effective online photo translation from 37 languages, which is comparable to the capabilities of Yandex. The reality turns out to be not so rosy, but let's not rush.
After installing the program, you will need to specify settings for text recognition, including with photos. It is also immediately suggested to download the offline module (judging by the reviews, it is unstable, so you should prepare for constant connections to the service).
Please note that the main language is the one from which you need to translate, and not the language of the final result.
The main menu will then open.
You can go to the settings, but they are extremely meager.
Internet traffic options include installing an offline package, speech synthesis capabilities, and camera settings. By default, the service will use your photos to improve the experience. If you don’t want to waste extra traffic, it’s better to disable sending.
The main window contains all the tools, including a photo translator from English to Russian - it is hidden behind an icon labeled “Camera”.
When activated, you will need to allow access to shooting.
If you haven't set up sending pictures to Google, the program will ask you about them.
For on-the-fly recognition, you must download the offline part. But if the text floats due to autofocus, the result will be sad.
Please note that only the selected part of the frame is translated.
To go to a full-fledged English-Russian photo translator, you need to take a photo (big red button). After this, the application will ask you to select the text. You can select everything using the button below.
The system will show the result. You can use the copy button if you go to the very bottom of the text.
To use a previously taken photo, in camera mode, click on the import icon (to the left of the red button). The first time, the application will request access to the data.
The photo selection will then be displayed. By default, recent files are shown.
If you open the menu at the top left, you can import a photo from your gallery, downloads folder, Google Drive, etc.
Otherwise the translation process is exactly the same.
A popular translator of pictures from English into Russian is available at https://www.newocr.com/ . It supports different formats and translation languages.
Select the file, specify the languages to be recognized and use “Upload + OCR” to upload. After processing, you can adjust the text orientation parameters at the top and enable column splitting.
The area for translation and the recognized text are shown below.
The service does not have its own translator, but clicking the button will automatically send the text to Google Translator.
Or you can click on "Bing Translator" to use the service from Microsoft.
The service is convenient with orientation settings and access to two translation systems.
