Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a transcription or translation image mcgraw and a business one?

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.

Is transcription or translation shown in the image below?

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.

How does Smartcat’s Image Translation Agent help my team?

Smartcat’s Image Translation Agent detects and translates text inside image files. It then rebuilds the image automatically with the translated content in place. This helps you:

  • Adapt visual assets faster

  • Reduce time spent on manual updates

  • Preserve layout and design fidelity
