OCR Solutions for
Translation Companies

Using advanced OCR technology like ABBYY FineReader, we extract text from images, scanned documents, and PDFs, ensuring your content is editable, accurate, and compatible with your translation tools.

At Foliage Solutions, we deliver industry-leading OCR solutions tailored specifically for translation and localization companies. Our expert team helps language service providers (LSPs) convert non-editable files into translation-ready content with precision and speed.

Why OCR Solutions are essential for translation workflows

Many translation projects begin with files that contain non-selectable text—scanned PDFs, image files, or old printed materials. Without proper OCR processing, these documents can’t be efficiently translated.

Let’s help you transform static documents into fully editable, structured files that are ready for localization with our specialized OCR services. This is especially critical for:

Technical manuals

Legal and financial documents

Marketing materials

Product catalogs
