Sending images and scanned PDFs for translation Leave feedback

To translate scanned PDF or image file and get result as plain text, send a POST request to the https://api.groupdocs.cloud/v2.0/translation/image-to-text GroupDocs.Translation Cloud REST API endpoint. To authorize the request, pass the access token in Authorization header (Bearer authentication).

The file and translation parameters are provided in JSON format in the request body.

{
  "sourceLanguage": "string",
  "targetLanguages": [
    "string"
  ],
  "file": "string",
  "url": "string",
  "format": "Unknown",
  "rotationAngle": 0,
  "ishandwritten": true
}

Note

Though you have a possibility to provide your file via cURL, please firstly upload it and pass its URL.

Evaluation mode is not available for scans and image files, kindly register account and try image translation with provided free credits.

If successful, this method returns JSON with a unique identifier (value of the id property) of the translation request in the queue:

{
	"status": 202,
	"message": "Starting translation",
	"id": "a4fc6c6e-81b0-43c8-b62b-b8bb99520ce9"
}

Otherwise, it returns a HTTP status code corresponding to the error.

Translation will take a few seconds, depending on the size of the file, the volume of its textual content and the current GroupDocs.Translation Cloud load. See the article Fetching translations for information on how to get translations from the server.
