Have a difficult PDF? See how EZDocuAI tackles challenging PDFs with OCR, layout reconstruction, and translation.
Some documents never make it into your CAT tool: a crooked scan, a handwritten certificate, a form packed with tables, seals, and signature blocks. The translation itself is the easy part. Rebuilding the document is what eats your afternoon. This session is about that afternoon.
Roberto Rodríguez, CEO and co-founder of EZDocuAI, will take real documents from scan to delivery—live. He’ll cover OCR for scanned and handwritten files, automatic layout reconstruction, and converting PDFs into editable files while preserving the original formatting.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- How OCR handles scanned and handwritten documents in practice, what it reads reliably, and where tables, faded stamps, and cursive still need your careful review.
- How layout reconstruction rebuilds a PDF into an editable file that preserves the original formatting so tables, seals, and signature blocks are not retyped by hand.
- How to measure the part of your day that is not translation using a single number: time to first editable file.
- Two ways to work after reconstruction: export the editable document and translate in the tool you already trust, or work in one screen with the original and the translation side by side.
- What to ask any vendor about your clients’ documents: retention, deletion, and model training. We’ll also explain Zero Knowledge Processing and why your files are deleted after export.
About the Presenter
Roberto Rodriguez is a mechanical engineer and entrepreneur. Originally from Barranquilla (COL), he immigrated to the U.S. and built his career at the intersection of artificial intelligence and business consulting, helping companies integrate AI into their daily operations. While working across industries, he noticed that professional translators, despite being essential to global communication, had been largely overlooked by the tech world. That gap became his mission. He founded EZDocuAI, a platform built specifically for translators, after spending months listening to their frustrations, understanding their workflows, and learning what they actually needed. He believes technology should serve, not replace, people, and that translators deserve tools designed with their expertise in mind.
What is ATA TEKTalks?
