How can I put hard copies of pages from a book into Google Translate or Babelfish?

These came via U S mail. I can't find a way to cut, copy and paste any of it into Google translate or any other translation service, so I can read it in English. How else can I do this?

I will allow for differences in sentence structure and the meaning of some words. I just want the gist of what the pages are saying.|||Aside from typing them up yourself, there is no way.

But you'll get more than just sentence structure and word differences. You're going to get complete and utter rubbish vomited forth.|||you need an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software or service to make the text into a file.

you can try this site http://www.free-ocr.com/. just upload a scan of whatever you need converted.

or you can use a software. the ones listed here are free http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-5-free-鈥?/a>



then you can run it through the 'translator' of your choice.|||Sorry to say but no-one should never use any of those completely rubbish online "translators", they are way too inaccurate anyway! In fact, they should not even be called "translators" because they are so bad...
