Two production-ready APIs on one platform, with shared accounts, API keys, quotas and a single monthly bill.
The Translation API dynamically translates text using Neural Machine Translation (NMT) for speed and broad language coverage, or the Translation LLM for more fluent, natural results. It is compatible with the Google Cloud Translation v2 and v3 REST interfaces.
The OCR API detects and extracts text from images (text detection) and from dense documents such as scans, PDF and TIFF files (document text detection), returning the text together with its layout and bounding boxes. It is compatible with the Google Cloud Vision images:annotate and files:annotate REST interfaces.
Many teams combine them: the Translation API for predictable, high-volume translation, and the OCR API to turn images and documents into text.
| Translation API | OCR API | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Translating text and HTML at scale with consistent quality | Extracting text from photos, scans, receipts, forms and PDF files |
| Interface | Google Cloud Translation v2 and v3 REST | Google Cloud Vision images:annotate and files:annotate |
| Authentication | X-Api-Key header or key query parameter |
X-Api-Key header or key query parameter |
| Billed by | Characters (Unicode code points) | Images (each PDF, TIFF or GIF page counts as one) |
| Starting price | 500,000 characters free every month (NMT) | 1,000 images free every month per feature |
