SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the time-consuming work of manually reading non-English visa documents and reformatting them into a professional English translation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic OCR with fallbacks: Extracts text from images using available OCR options (macOS Vision, EasyOCR, and Tesseract when available) while handling rotated documents.
  • Professional bilingual PDF output: Produces an A4 bilingual PDF containing the original image and a clean, visa-appropriate English translation.
  • Visa-document aware translation: Translates and preserves names (including pinyin for Chinese names), and keeps numbers, dates, and amounts accurate for official submissions (e.g., deposit, employment, retirement, property, licenses, ID/passport documents).

Quick Start

Send an image file path to /visa-doc-translate, and it will generate <filename>_Translated.pdf with both the original document image and the English translation.
