What This Tool Does

Upload an image, choose the OCR language, and MV Tools runs PaddleOCR on the server. The result includes a text preview, a TXT file, and a JSON file with detected lines, confidence scores, and coordinates.

Common Use Cases

  • Recognizing text from screenshots, document photos, labels, receipts, and mixed-layout images
  • Getting OCR confidence scores and line coordinates for downstream processing
  • Testing PaddleOCR quality before moving to PDF, table, receipt, or form extraction workflows

How Data Is Handled

Uploaded images, OCR text, and structured JSON results are processed temporarily on the server and are cleaned up automatically after the retention window.

FAQ

How is this different from the simple image OCR tool?

Which languages are available?

The first version supports English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese through PaddleOCR language models.

Are uploaded images stored permanently?

No. Uploaded images and OCR outputs are temporary and are automatically cleaned up.
