The API Freaks OCR API is a powerful optical character recognition service that extracts text from images, scanned PDFs (image-based PDFs only), and scanned documents into machine-readable formats. It offers two specialized recognition models: a general-purpose OCR engine designed for standard document processing and high-quality text extraction, and a CAPTCHA-optimized solver specifically engineered for handling distorted, noisy, or challenging text recognition scenarios. The API supports multiple input formats including images (PNG, JPG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, GIF, and PCX), PDFs, and ZIP archives, and provides flexible output options with support for zonal extraction when you need text from specific regions.
Built for developers who need reliable text extraction, the API integrates easily into existing workflows. Whether you're building document management systems, automating invoice processing, or creating tools that need to understand text in images or scanned PDFs, the service handles the complexity of optical character recognition while giving you clean, structured results.
