Uploading Documents

Learn how to upload documents to your Document Transcribe collections for transcription and translation.

Supported File Formats

Document Transcribe currently supports the following file formats:

• JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg)
• PNG (.png)

We're working on adding support for additional formats, including PDF documents.

Step 1: Navigate to Your Collection

First, select the collection where you want to upload your documents. If you haven't created a collection yet, check out our guide on Creating Your First Collection.

Step 2: Upload Documents

There are several ways to upload documents:

• Upload button: Click the "Upload" button in the collection interface. This will open a file browser where you can select one or multiple documents from your computer.
• Drag and drop: Simply drag files from your computer and drop them onto the designated area in the collection interface.

Step 3: Monitor Upload Progress

A progress indicator will show you the status of your uploads. Depending on your internet connection and the size of your files, uploads may take a few moments to complete.

Step 4: Verify Uploaded Documents

Once uploaded, your documents will appear in your collection. You can:

• Preview each document to ensure it was uploaded correctly
• Rename documents if needed
• Organize documents into pages
• Add metadata or tags to your documents

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure your images are clear and have good contrast
• For handwritten documents, higher resolution images generally yield better transcription results
• Consider cropping images to focus on the text content
• For multi-page documents, upload each page separately and organize them within a document
