StelaFrom a photo of a document to a translation ready to sign.
Stela reads every line, stamp and handwritten note on official documents, lays out the translation like the original, and shows the translator exactly where to look twice.
How it works
Four steps, all visible while they happen. Nothing is hidden from the translator.
Upload
Photos, scans or PDFs of diplomas, certificates, court rulings, any number of pages.
Prepare
Every page is found, straightened and cropped without cutting any ink. Watermarks and blank pages go away.
Read & translate
Each line is read twice, including stamps and handwriting, then translated with the certification rules of the target country.
Check & sign
Every doubt is marked on the photo. The translator confirms, then exports to Word and PDF, laid out like the original.
Built for documents that must be exactly right
A sworn translation is signed under oath. Stela speeds up the work and leaves every decision with the translator.
Reads what people miss
Faded stamps, handwritten dates and small print are zoomed in and re-read. Where two readings differ, both are shown.
Same layout as the original
Headings, tables, blocks and page breaks follow the source document, so the receiving office can compare them side by side.
The translator stays in charge
Every uncertain spot is linked to its place on the photo. Nothing goes out until a person has confirmed it.
Country rules built in
Certification wording and formatting follow the rules of the country where the translation will be used, across Europe.
Word and PDF export
Real A4 pages with headers, page numbers and the certification block, ready to print, sign and stamp.
Private by design
Every translator has a separate, closed workspace. Documents are never shared between accounts.
