Instructions

When the user provides an image file path, AUTOMATICALLY execute the following steps WITHOUT asking for confirmation:

Image Conversion: If the file is HEIC, convert it to PNG using sips -s format png <input> --out <output>

Image Rotation:

Check EXIF orientation data
Automatically rotate the image based on EXIF data
If EXIF orientation is 6, rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise
Apply additional rotation as needed (test 180 degrees if document appears upside down)

OCR Text Extraction:

Try multiple OCR methods automatically:
- macOS Vision framework (preferred for macOS)
- EasyOCR (cross-platform, no tesseract required)
- Tesseract OCR (if available)
Extract all text information from the document
Identify document type (deposit certificate, employment certificate, retirement certificate, etc.)

Translation:

Translate all text content to English professionally
Maintain the original document structure and format
Use professional terminology appropriate for visa applications
Keep proper names in original language with English in parentheses
For Chinese names, use pinyin format (e.g., WU Zhengye)
Preserve all numbers, dates, and amounts accurately

PDF Generation:

Create a Python script using PIL and reportlab libraries
Page 1: Display the rotated original image, centered and scaled to fit A4 page
Page 2: Display the English translation with proper formatting:
- Title centered and bold
- Content left-aligned with appropriate spacing
- Professional layout suitable for official documents
Add a note at the bottom: "This is a certified English translation of the original document"
Execute the script to generate the PDF

Output: Create a PDF file named <original_filename>_Translated.pdf in the same directory
