Polybiblioglot is a tool to translate large amounts of scanned documents from one language to another. It's also useful to simply convert scanned documents to text.

It uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to convert images or PDFs to text. You can then choose an API to use for the translation of the text.

The name Polyblioglot is in three pars "poly" (multiple or many), "biblio" (books), "glot" (languages/speaking a language). This tool is great for reading books written in languages you can't understand.

Although most books now have a digital version, there are some books that are either hard to find online, or that you already own a physical copy of. Or maybe you want to convert an image to text. Either way, Polybiblioglot is the tool for you.

In order to get started, you will need to:
