Before you start: Confirm these points first

Before downloading, take a few minutes to check the following items to avoid discovering that they are not applicable after installation.

Operating system and version. The installation packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are different, and older versions may not work. Checking method: For Windows, check the version on the system information page of the system settings; for macOS, open the system menu in the upper left corner of the screen and enter the information page about this machine; for Linux, you can enter uname -a in the terminal to check the kernel information. If the download page distinguishes the chip architecture, you should also select according to the machine label.
Disk space. The installation program itself takes up space, and temporary files will be generated when translating large files. It is recommended to leave enough space on the system disk, and do not wait until you are halfway through translation to find out that there is insufficient space.
Download source. Only get the installer from download.omnidoc.top. It is impossible to confirm whether the installation packages in the attachments of reposting sites and forums have been tampered with, which poses security risks and may also have wrong versions.
The file type to be translated. Make sure your file is one of PDF (digital or scanned), Word, PowerPoint, Excel, EPUB, Markdown, Subtitles, or LaTeX source. Scanned PDFs can be uploaded directly for translation without additional conversion.
The sensitivity of the file content. For contracts, medical records, and unpublished research materials, read the official instructions on data processing before uploading or processing them, and then decide on which device to process them after confirming where the files are going.

Steps to download and install the OmniDoc desktop client on your computer

Open the browser and visit download.omnidoc.top.
Based on the system confirmed in the first step, select the installation package corresponding to Windows, macOS or Linux.
After the download is completed, find the installation file in the browser's download record or download folder, and remember where it was saved.
For Windows, double-click the installer, follow the prompts to select the installation location and complete the installation; for macOS, open the installation package and follow the prompts to put the application into the application folder; for Linux, follow the instructions included with the installation package to run it.
If the system prompts that the source is unknown or cannot be verified, first go back to the download page to check whether the address is correct, and then allow it to run.
Open the client and confirm that the main interface can be displayed completely without repeated errors.
Prepare a 2–3 page PDF or Word document as a test. Upload in the client and select the output method: bilingual comparison facilitates paragraph-by-paragraph comparison, and only the translated version is suitable for direct reading or typesetting.
After the translation is completed, save the results to a fixed folder and retain the original files for easy comparison one by one later.

Check each item after completion

After getting the translation, do not forward or submit it directly. Check the following items and deal with problems promptly if found.

Check items	How to see	What if there's a problem?
Can the client start normally?	After opening, the main interface is fully displayed, and the operation does not report errors continuously.	Re-download the same version installation package from the download page to check whether the system version meets the requirements

Tables and formulas	Zoom in to see if the table lines and formula symbols are complete.	Key data go back to the original file to check item by item, do not directly use
Accuracy of translation	Spot check technical terms, numbers, dates, negative sentences and conditional sentences	There may be errors in machine translation, and the important contents are modified paragraph by paragraph against the original text.
Recognition effect of scanned PDF	Try to select a paragraph of text in the original file, usually a scanned piece	The scanned piece can be uploaded and translated directly; to modify the text in it, you can first use the OCR function of the desktop client PDF editor to identify it.
