What problem does it solve?
Many visa applicants submit photographed or scanned official documents in other languages and need accurate, professionally formatted English translations combined with the original image for official submission; this Skill automates the entire conversion from image to certified bilingual PDF.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automatic OCR and Rotation: Converts HEIC when needed, reads EXIF orientation, and auto-rotates images for reliable text extraction.
- Multi-engine Text Extraction: Attempts macOS Vision, EasyOCR, then Tesseract as fallbacks to maximize extraction accuracy across platforms.
- Professional Translation & PDF Output: Produces a two-page A4 PDF with the original image and a formatted English translation that preserves names, numbers, dates, and monetary amounts for visa applications.
- Use Case: An immigration consultant can feed a bank deposit certificate image and receive a certified bilingual PDF ready for submission to consulates or visa officers.
