Auction-sheet field guide

How to use Scan & Translate

Scan & Translate turns a stock image into a structured English summary after you request it. It can make a Japanese auction sheet easier to navigate; it cannot turn the image into an inspection.

What should you verify first?

If a field matters Ask the Japan desk for human clarification

How do you request a Scan & Translate summary?

Open the exact stock page for the vehicle you are considering and request the translation there. The request is tied to that lot and processed in the background. The page reports whether the description is queued, ready or unavailable, so wait for that status rather than resending.

What can Scan & Translate not prove?

It is AI-assisted image interpretation, not an inspection and not proof of repair history. Small text, handwriting, stamps, image quality and unfamiliar layouts can all create uncertainty. It is also not a substitute for the original full-resolution sheet, which stays the authoritative document.

How do you get uncertain points confirmed?

Ask the Japan desk for the original full sheet and human clarification whenever a field affects your decision. Name the exact line, symbol or panel that needs checking so the reply stays tied to the source image, then keep that clarification with your quote and stock ID.
