OCR: read the text in an image (Tesseract)
Reads the printed text in an image from a public link (scans, screenshots, photos of documents, receipts) with the open-source Tesseract OCR engine, and returns the text with line breaks and an average word confidence (0-100).
Deterministic, no AI model. English, Portuguese and Spanish. Works best on clear printed text; handwriting and stylized fonts read poorly. Up to 15 MB.
