How to translate a document on Android
To translate a document on Android with abasam, take a clear photo of the letter or upload an existing document, then choose your preferred language. Read the translation and plain-language explanation, and compare important details with the original before acting.
1. Start with a readable document
Place the letter on a flat surface in good light. Include the whole page and avoid shadows or glare. Check that small print, dates, reference numbers, and the sender’s details are readable before uploading.
If the letter has several pages, keep them together and in order. Missing pages can change the meaning of an explanation.
2. Scan or upload, then choose your language
abasam is available on Android through Google Play. Take a picture of a letter or upload a document you already have. Choose the language you are most comfortable reading; abasam supports translations and explanations in more than 50 languages.
You can start as a guest with 3 free scans. A free account gives you 20 scans. See the pricing page for subscription options and limits.
3. Read the explanation as well as the translation
A translation helps you read the words in another language. A plain-language explanation helps you understand the request, important information, and possible next steps. abasam provides both.
Look for who sent the document, why they contacted you, what they are asking for, and any dates that need attention. Keep the original available while you read.
4. Check important details before taking action
Compare names, amounts, dates, and reference numbers with the original. AI explanations can contain mistakes, especially when a photo is blurry or information is missing. If something is unclear, ask the sender or a qualified professional to clarify.
abasam provides informational assistance. Its output is not a certified translation and does not replace professional legal, financial, or medical advice. If an organisation requires a certified translation, ask it which type it accepts.
What about personal documents?
Letters can contain sensitive information. Before uploading, read abasam’s Privacy Policy to understand how documents are processed and stored. The app offers an encrypted document vault and PIN or biometric app locking. Account deletion instructions are available on this website.
