Does this exist: help for newcomer in foreign land

Hi everyone,

I recently emigrated to Germany and am struggling with the language. My firm deals with a lot of scanned PDFs in German but doesn't convert them to searchable ones.

I would like a portable USB tool that I could quickly lift text out of scanned PDFs and place into google translate for example.

Does such a thing exist?

yes - I think

I haven't used it (and it is in the Beta forums), but gImageReader Portable might be what you are after

go here --> https://portableapps.com/node/33010

good luck

ps: just tested that gImageReader release with a PDF that was a low quality image (no searchable text) and it did get a surprisingly good amount of the text correct Smile
