Iris document to knowledge download

The IRIS add-on is an app for SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 or higher that provides support for recognizing text in scanned PDF documents with Asian content. It uses advanced OCR technology to recognise Asian characters and convert them as faithfully as possible to translatable content in SDL Trados Studio. The app integrates with the PDF file type in SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 or later.

It also upgrades Studio 2017's current OCR tool, providing more powerful and better quality conversions for over 130 different languages.
