Local OCR

Local OCR

Local OCR is a tool that allows users to perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on their local machines. It leverages advanced models like Llama 3.2 Vision and Ollama to extract text from images efficiently. This tool is designed to be user-friendly and can be set up with minimal technical knowledge.

Benefits

Local OCR offers several key advantages:

• Local Processing: Unlike cloud-based OCR services, Local OCR processes images on your local machine, ensuring data privacy and security.
• Ease of Use: The tool is designed to be simple and straightforward, making it accessible to both technical and non-technical users.
• Versatility: It supports various image formats, including JPG, JPEG, and PNG, making it versatile for different use cases.
• High Accuracy: By utilizing advanced models like Llama 3.2 Vision and Ollama, Local OCR provides accurate text extraction from images.

Use Cases

Local OCR can be used in a variety of scenarios:

• Document Digitization: Convert physical documents into digital text for easy editing and storage.
• Data Entry: Automate data entry tasks by extracting text from scanned documents or images.
• Accessibility: Make printed text accessible to visually impaired individuals by converting it into digital format.
• Research: Extract text from images for research purposes, such as analyzing historical documents or scientific papers.
