SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Visa applicants and immigration support staff often need to submit official documents like employment certificates, bank statements, or ID cards in English for visa applications, but these documents are frequently only available as scanned images in other languages. Manually translating and formatting these documents into professional, submission-ready PDFs is time-consuming, prone to formatting errors, and may not meet official visa application standards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Method OCR: Automatically tries macOS Vision, EasyOCR, and Tesseract OCR to extract text from scanned document images with no manual OCR configuration required.
  • Bilingual Professional PDF Generation: Creates a compliant A4 PDF with the original scanned document on the first page and a professionally formatted English translation on the second page, using proper official terminology and accurately preserving names, dates, and monetary values.
  • Use Case: A user applying for an Australian visa with a Chinese-language retirement certificate can provide the image file path, and the skill will automatically handle image rotation, text extraction, translation, and PDF generation to produce a ready-to-submit bilingual document.

Quick Start

Use the visa-doc-translate skill to process your scanned official visa document image file and generate a submission-ready bilingual English translation PDF.
