Hi guys, this is my first time posting a topic here.

Nothing to write to much, I just got translation request in which the file is pdf type scanned image. I do not have much experience translating this file type. Using MS Office is too troublesome and not practical. May I know what is the best CAT tools to translate it. Thanks.

Have a nice day to you all!

I assume you want to covert the scanned pdf into text?

I also get a lot of these sort of jobs, and while it's not perfect for Thai text, I'm sure it'll work fine for you.

Cost is around $150.

As DJHartmann mentioned Abbyy has an OCR engine that works really well. I think that if you use their free online CAT tool SmartCAT that their OCR technology is included in that CAT tool for free.
