Using the Editor
For a basic walkthrough, see the video in the Quick Start Guide.
The editor
Section titled “The editor”The editor shows the current image and its text-block list together. Selecting a box on the image selects the matching item in the list, and selecting a list item locates the box on the image.
A text block normally contains:
- source text: text-extraction output or text entered by the user;
- translated text: model output or text edited by the user;
- box position and size;
- text orientation and reading direction;
- review state and reviewed text.
Recommended order
Section titled “Recommended order”- Run Detect Text Blocks in Image.
- Check box positions. Move, resize, add boxes for missed text, and delete boxes that were detected incorrectly.
- Run Extract Text, or enter source text manually.
- Check the source text and box order.
- Run Extract Image Summary to provide translation context. This is optional, but recommended.
- Run Translate.
- Review and confirm each translation.
Automatic text extraction can contain errors, which reduces the accuracy of the LLM translation that follows. Check vertical text, handwriting, overlapping bubbles, and decorative fonts manually.
Reorder boxes
Section titled “Reorder boxes”Box order affects the order sent in translation requests and the order used by Tab navigation.
Drag a box by its reorder handle (the box number) to change the order. On mobile, use the up/down buttons or type a number directly. Reordering changes only the list order, not the box position on the image.
Edit and delete
Section titled “Edit and delete”Source and translated text can be edited directly. Selecting a box on the image scrolls the list to the matching item and focuses the appropriate input on desktop.
Deleting a box shows a confirmation prompt. Deleting a box with text also removes its source and translated text. This cannot be undone.
Confirm and review translations
Section titled “Confirm and review translations”Confirm Translation copies the translation into the reviewed text, which is the final output, and marks the box as reviewed.
Review Translation also copies the translation into the reviewed text, but does not mark it as reviewed, so you can edit the reviewed text first and confirm afterwards.
Confirm All in the footer confirms all confirmable boxes on the current image. So you can also review only the translations that need changes, then confirm everything at once.
Export uses the reviewed text (confirmed or not) first, and falls back to the translated text.
Desktop shortcuts
Section titled “Desktop shortcuts”On the landscape layout, the question-mark button in the top-right corner of the text-block list opens the keyboard shortcut reference. These shortcuts can make repetitive review much faster.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl/Cmd + Enter | Copy the translation into the review field, mark it as reviewed, and move to the next box (if review has already started, only mark it as reviewed) |
| Ctrl/Cmd + ‘ | Copy the translation into the review field and start reviewing manually |
| Ctrl/Cmd + D | Delete the current box |
| Ctrl/Cmd + [ | Previous page |
| Ctrl/Cmd + ] | Next page |
| Tab | Next box, same input field |
| Shift + Tab | Previous box, same input field |
Why is an automation action disabled?
Section titled “Why is an automation action disabled?”This usually means that a prerequisite result or model capability is missing:
- extraction cannot run without text blocks;
- translation cannot run without source text;
- the configured model does not have the required capability;
- a batch or other task is already running, so check the task overlay first.
