When to Use

  • You need to extract text from an image file (PNG/JPEG/TIFF/BMP) for downstream processing or review.
  • You want to run OCR with a specific Tesseract language model (e.g., eng, chi_sim).
  • You prefer providing a natural-language request that contains an image path (e.g., "Interpret the image at ...") instead of manually setting image_path.
  • You need a quick local OCR verification workflow from the command line.
  • You want a simple JSON-configured OCR runner that can be integrated into scripts or automation.

Key Features

  • OCR text extraction using Tesseract via pytesseract.
  • Supports common image formats: PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP (via Pillow).
  • Multi-language OCR through the lang configuration option.
  • Natural-language request parsing to automatically locate the image path.
  • Config-driven execution through scripts/ocr_config.json.
