New Update Azure Translator can now scan and translate PDF documents

[CyberTech]

Microsoft has announced that the document translation feature built into Azure Translator can now scan and translate PDF documents. The company said that users no longer need to preprocess documents through an OCR engine before trying to translate them.

The document translation feature was first introduced a year ago and was able to translate several documents at once into more than 110 languages and dialects. Today’s update means PDF files are now fully supported alongside Word and PowerPoint files. Being able to scan PDFs with scanned image content was highly requested, according to the firm.

Explaining some of the features, Microsoft said:
