Hi, getting usable text for translation or editing is always a bit of a pain using OCR services. I recently discovered the method with Google Lens. For non-sensitive work it’s a good option since the results are quite encouraging, I show the method in this short video https://youtu.be/WeM9dzMah-8
Hope this will be useful to some of you.

Nice trick Jun 28, 2022

Thank you.
I use QTranslate for quick text grabbing but it does not follow the structure as with your method.

Not my job, mate Jun 29, 2022

I leave that kind of work up to the client to sort out. If I were to offer these kind of services, I'd have to charge double my current rate.
