The phrase 'transcription or translation image mcgraw' often refers to biological diagrams of DNA processes. In business, an image of transcription and translation is different. 'Transcription' can mean converting speech to text, or in our visual context, extracting text from an image. 'Translation' then converts that text into another language.
When you view a visual in our platform, you are seeing the final translation. The process, however, involves both steps. We offer a clear view of the process, unlike a static 'transcription but not translation image'. You can see the extracted text before and after the AI translation is applied.
