DETECT LANGUAGE

Yes. The Tomedes Language Detector supports many common file types, including PDF, TXT, DOCX, DOC, CSV, XLSX, XLS, ODS, SRT, PPTX, HTML, JPG, JPEG, PNG, and GIF. The tool automatically extracts text from images and scanned documents using built-in OCR, so you can upload both text-based and image-based files. Large files work best when processed in sections for higher accuracy.

The tool is generally accurate for less common languages, especially when the text is clear and long enough. Very short inputs, mixed scripts, or similar-looking dialects may lower confidence. For important use cases, Tomedes can assign a linguist to confirm the languages used.

Yes. Simply convert the audio or video to text using the Tomedes AI Transcription Tool, then use this Language Detector for the transcript. Clear recordings produce better results, and mixed-language audio may need to be split into segments for more accurate detection.

Yes. If the detected language is different from your browser language, the tool automatically provides a quick translation to help you understand the text. For polished or official use, Tomedes can also provide professional human translation.

The Tomedes Language Detector analyzes the characters, word patterns, and overall structure of your text to identify the most likely language. It works best with clear, well-formed text and longer inputs. Very short text, mixed scripts, or OCR noise may make detection harder, so providing a few full sentences improves the results. To use the tool, enter your text, upload a file, or paste a URL, then click Detect Language.

Yes. The Tomedes Language Detector can read images and scanned PDFs using built-in OCR, then detect the language from the extracted text. Results are best when the scan is clear, not blurry, and has readable text. For official or sensitive documents, Tomedes can also provide OCR cleanup and professional translation when needed.

Yes. The Tomedes Language Detector is free to use. Light fair-use limits may apply to very long texts or large files to keep the tool fast for everyone. If you reach a limit, you can simply split your text into smaller sections and run detection again. For high-volume or frequent use, Tomedes can also support larger workflows and provide professional translation when needed.

Yes, it may detect certain language variants or dialects, but accuracy can be limited because many variants share similar spelling, vocabulary, and grammar. It is most reliable at identifying the main language. If you need to confirm the exact variant for translation or localization, Tomedes can review the text and assign the correct dialect with a native linguist.
