Reading a long paper in a second language is slow. Pasting it into a translator sentence by sentence breaks it into pieces, and the argument gets lost along the way.
Copying text out of a PDF makes it worse. The two columns interleave, equations turn into stray symbols, and numbers spill out of their tables into the body text. Figures do not come along at all, so “see Figure 3” points at nothing.
What you need is not a pile of sentence fragments — it is a translated document that keeps the flow of the original.
How academic PDF translation works
Upload your PDF
Upload the paper you need to read, as-is. No cutting and pasting sentences.
Structure-preserving translation
Equations stay equations, tables stay tables, and figures stay in place — reorganized in reading order and translated. Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish are supported.
Original and translation tabs, plus a summary
Flip between the translation and the original to compare. Open the summary above the translation to get the skeleton of the paper first.
What makes Engram different
Academic PDF translation that keeps the reading order
Text copied out of a two-column PDF interleaves the columns. Engram reads the structure of an academic paper, orders the body text the way it is meant to be read, and keeps figures and tables in context.
Equations stay equations, tables stay tables
Equations are carried over as proper notation instead of broken characters, and tables keep their rows and columns. Fewer numbers drifting into the body text mid-argument.
Compare with the original, start from the summary
The original sits in its own tab next to the translation, so key sentences and numbers can be checked against the source at any time. A short summary above the translation gives you the skeleton of the paper before you commit to the full read.
