About this skill
OCR Skill
Extract text from images including receipts, screenshots, documents, and photos of text using Tesseract OCR.
Input
file_path(string, required): Path to image file (PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP, WebP)language(string, optional, default "eng"): Tesseract language code (e.g. "eng", "fra", "deu", "eng+fra" for multiple)psm(integer, optional, default 3): Page segmentation mode (3=auto, 6=single block, 7=single line, 11=sparse text)
Output
text(string): Extracted textconfidence(float): Average confidence score (0-100)line_count(integer): Number of text linesword_count(integer): Number of words
Prerequisites
How it compares
It provides structured output including confidence scores and line counts, which is more useful for automated pipelines than raw text extraction.
