The OCR.space Online OCR service converts scans or (smartphone) images of text documents into editable files by using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). The OCR software also can get text from PDF . Our Online OCR service is free to use, no registration necessary. Just upload your image files.
Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Node docs to learn more.
The OCRSpace API provides an efficient way to convert texts from images into
text formats with an accuracy of up to 90%. With the OCRSpace API, you can
build applications that are able to extract text from images and turn them into
a usable text format. Here are some examples of what you can build with the
OCRSpace API:
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
ocrspace: {
type: "app",
app: "ocrspace",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.ocr.space/parse/imageurl`,
params: {
apikey: `${this.ocrspace.$auth.apikey}`,
url: `image_url_goes_here`,
},
})
},
})
// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Return data to use it in future steps
return steps.trigger.event
},
})
