English to Marathi Scanner
Take or upload a photo of English text and read it in Marathi. The photo is read on your phone and never uploaded.
How to scan and translate
1. Upload or take a photo
The Upload tab is already open above. Choose a photo from your gallery, or on a phone take one with the camera. Leave “From” on English when the text in the picture is English.
2. Read it in Marathi
The text is picked out of the image and translated into Marathi within a few seconds. The first scan downloads the text-reading data once, so it is slower than the ones after it.
3. Fix, copy or share
If a word was misread, switch to the Type tab: the scanned text is there to edit, and the Marathi updates as you correct it. Then copy it, listen to it, or send it on WhatsApp.
Scanning Marathi script
What makes Marathi different
Marathi uses Devanagari, like Hindi, but with letters Hindi rarely needs, such as ळ, and its own spellings. When scanning Marathi text, set “From” to Marathi rather than Hindi: the reader then uses Marathi data and gets ळ and Marathi word forms right. As with all Devanagari, keep the top line sharp and the matras in focus.
What people scan
Common scans are English school notices, hospital papers, housing-society circulars, insurance documents and medicine labels, read in Marathi for someone at home. Many people also photograph English exam questions to check their meaning in Marathi.
Marathi to English from a photo
Reading Marathi text
For Marathi into English — Maharashtra government circulars, a Marathi newspaper, a printed 7/12 extract or a society notice — set “From” to Marathi and pick English as the output. Handwritten entries on forms will not read; printed text will.
Your photo stays private
This english to marathi scanner reads the picture inside your browser, so the image is never uploaded to our servers. Only the text taken from it is sent on to be translated, and that text is not stored. Only image files work: for a PDF, take a screenshot of the page first.
Typing instead? Use the English to Marathi translator. Tips for a clean photo, and the full list of scripts the reader supports, are on the image translator page. Scanners for other languages: Hindi, Tamil, Gujarati, Bengali, Kannada, Telugu, Punjabi, Malayalam.
