Bardeen's workflow for translating text from an image in Google Drive is a powerful tool for personal productivity. It automates the process of extracting written content from images stored in Google Drive and instantly translates it into your preferred language. This can be especially useful for professionals dealing with international documents or for anyone learning a new language.
Here's how this workflow takes text from an image in Google Drive and translates it:
- Step 1: Find Google Drive file - Locate the image file in Google Drive where the text you want to translate is stored. Bardeen’s command simplifies the process of finding the right file with just the name.
- Step 2: Extract text from image - Once the file is found, Bardeen uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to extract text from the image, making it ready for translation.
- Step 3: Translate text - The extracted text is then translated into your target language using DeepL, known for its high-quality translation capabilities. You'll need to specify the language you want the text translated to.
