PaddleOCR Text Recognition Skill

When to Use This Skill

Trigger keywords (routing): Bilingual trigger terms (Chinese and English) are listed in the YAML description above—use that field for discovery and routing.

Use this skill for:

• Extract text from images (screenshots, photos, scans)
• Extract text from PDFs or document images when the goal is line/box-level text, not recovering table grids, formulas, or full reading-order layout
• Extract text from URLs or local files that point to images/PDFs

Do not use for:

• Plain text files, code files, or markdown documents that can be read directly as text
• Documents with tables, formulas, charts, or complex layouts — use Document Parsing instead
• Tasks that do not involve image-to-text conversion
