Transalator of Scanned Documents

Is there a device or software available wherein i can Scan the letters received in German and get them converted to English .

The Online Transalators Babel fish etc , require us to type the Text in and this is very cumbersome for long letters

Thanks

If the quality of Google translation is adequate for your purposes, the trick is to improve the scanning by combining it with OCR.

If you are using a copy of the full Adobe Acrobat suite, there is an option to 'make text searchable' when you scan. Once you've done that, you should be able to copy-and-paste straight into other programs.

I love, love, love freetranslation.com You would need to cut and paste, but I use it all the time. Once I have translated the document or letter to another language, I cut and paste that and translate it back to my language to see if I'm OK.

Give it a shot!
