Translating Korean to English — What to Expect
Korean to English depends heavily on how cleanly the Hangul is read, and the weak point is the final consonant inside each syllable block. That position carries the smallest marks, so it drops first in a soft or compressed image — and because the final consonant often carries the grammatical particle, losing it changes the sentence's structure rather than just a word. Korean app screenshots are a common input and benefit from zooming the interface before capturing, since Korean UI fonts are condensed. Like Japanese, Korean also omits subjects, so check pronouns in the English.

Text is read as Korean
The AI is told the source is Korean, so it transcribes the text in its own script before translating.

Korean to English — Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the English sometimes have the wrong subject?▼
Korean often omits the subject when context supplies it, while English requires one. The translation picks a subject and may pick wrongly, so verify pronouns against the situation.
Does it translate Korean screenshots well?▼
Yes, with one caveat: Korean interface fonts are often condensed, which squeezes syllable blocks and reduces recognition accuracy. Zooming the app before taking the screenshot noticeably improves results.
Will it read hanja mixed into Korean text?▼
Yes, Chinese characters used in formal or older Korean writing are recognised alongside Hangul and translated. They're rarer, so they're worth verifying in the extracted panel.
