Optical Character Recognition, or OCR, is the process of recognising text within images and digital documents in order to transform it into a machine-readable format. An OCR Developer, therefore, works to build software to recognise text from within an image or document. This can be extremely useful when it comes to recognising text from a range of documents, such as bank checks, photos and other files, allowing quick and easy data collection and management, as well as data extraction for a range of purposes.

Here’s some projects that our Expert OCR Developers have made real:

  • Our developers have designed and developed software to automate the input of data from external websites
  • We’ve created programs to extract phone numbers from images
  • We’ve developed websites that use Barcode processing alongside OCR technology to automatically recognise objects
  • Our developers were able to create an app using AI/ML technologies which could recognise licence plates on a mobile phone
  • We’ve used Python along with Pytesseract OCR library to create scripts that even automate websites

Our clients trust our developers to find the best possible solution for their projects using OCR technologies. From complex deployments to simple scripts, our team of experts is ready to take on any challenge. So if you need help automating input or extracting text from images or documents, why not get in touch with us via Freelancer.com today and see what our expert OCR developers can do for you?

    PDF Play Text Transcription

    My 33-page play is currently trapped inside a PDF where each page is just an image. I need every line of text lifted out of those images and re-created in a Word document. Please keep the original look and feel of the script: character names in their proper places, dialogue indented the way it appears now, and all stage directions clearly marked. No need to worry about any graphics or background images—only the words matter. Deliverable • One editable .docx file that mirrors the existing formatting as closely as possible, ready for further revision or printing. Accuracy in spelling, punctuation, and layout is critical; the finished file should read exactly as the current PDF does, only fully selectable and editable.

    I have more than fifty bank statements in PDF format that I need converted into a clean, ready-to-use Excel workbook. For every single line item, please capture three fields exactly as they appear on the statement: the date, the transaction description, and the amount. Consistent column structure is important so the file can be filtered and reconciled quickly later on. You may use any reliable PDF-to-Excel tool, OCR software, or manual methods you trust, but the end result must be 100 % accurate—totals in Excel should match each statement’s totals, and dates and descriptions must remain unaltered. Deliverable: one Excel file (or Google Sheet if you prefer) containing all transactions, clearly separated by statement or with an additional “Statement #” column so I c...

    I need a small application that reads invoice-style PDFs and pulls every line-item—description, quantity, unit price, extended price—into an Excel workbook. The invoices come from multiple vendors, so layouts and fonts vary; accuracy across these differing templates is essential. Here’s how I picture the flow: I drop one or many PDFs into an input folder, run the script (Python would be ideal, but I’m open to other stacks), and receive an .xlsx file populated with the captured line items. A simple CLI is fine, though a lightweight GUI would be a welcome bonus. Behind the scenes you’re free to combine tools like pdfplumber, Tesseract, Amazon Textract, Azure Form Recognizer, or any other layout-aware OCR/LLM approach, as long as the final solution can be instal...

    I need an end-to-end system that lets a user open a mobile app, snap or choose a scanned page from any Telugu book, and instantly hear the text read aloud while the backend checks whether the same passage already exists in my book-preview dataset. Here is the flow I have in mind: • The mobile app (must run on both iOS and Android) presents a simple “Upload / Capture” screen. • On upload, the image is sent to Google Cloud where OCR is performed. The OCR must handle multiple Telugu fonts and return clean Unicode. • The extracted text is fed to a Telugu Text-to-Speech engine and the audio stream is returned to the app. • In parallel, the text is compared against my preview catalogue, currently stored as folder of pdfs together with the corresponding PD...

    I have between 10 and 50 PDF documents that contain text I need copied out verbatim. Each file must be opened, the text accurately extracted—preserving paragraph breaks—and pasted into a single, clean file (plain .txt or Word is fine). No images or videos are involved; it is pure text. Accuracy is critical: the copied content should match the source exactly, without missing characters, line shifts, or hidden headers/footers. If any page includes non-selectable text, please use reliable OCR so nothing is lost. When you deliver, I expect: • One consolidated document in the agreed format • The text ordered in the same sequence as the original PDFs, clearly separated or labeled so I know which section came from which file If you’re comfortable handling multip...

    Here’s a clear, step-by-step blueprint to help you start building this software/platform ASAP, without overcomplicating it. I’ll break it into business, technical, and product steps — so you can actually execute. Your Goal (Re-stated clearly) You want a system where a liquor store owner can upload invoice photos or PDFs, and your software automatically: Reads the invoice Understands product names, quantities, cost, vendor name Matches the items to the merchant’s POS inventory naming system Outputs a clean Excel/CSV file that the POS can import Ideally even pushes the inventory directly into the POS (future) This is invoice OCR + product mapping + POS integration.

    I need a cross-platform mobile app that puts businesses on an interactive map and lets users rate them in the moment. Two core map features are non-negotiable: users must be able to search for a business (İşletme arama) and see or leave user reviews (Kullanıcı yorumları). The twist is the camera flow. After a purchase, the user points the phone at their receipt; the app scans it, recognises the store, and immediately opens the rating screen. An accurate, fast OCR layer (Google ML Kit, Tesseract or a solution you prefer) is therefore essential. I’m open to Google Maps, Mapbox or another reliable map SDK. The build can be native, Flutter or React Native as long as both iOS and Android are covered. Clean, well-commented source code and a short read-me for setup are part of the hand-...

    I have a professionally typeset, fixed-layout PDF book that needs to be converted into a single, clean plain-text file. Every bit of textual content—running paragraphs, headings, image captions, and footnotes—must be captured. Wherever a figure or photo appears, simply include its caption and insert a clear placeholder such as “[Image]” on its own line so the reading order remains intact. The manuscript also contains numerous tables. Please rebuild each one directly inside the text file using spacing and lines so the column structure is obvious to a sight-reader (e.g., ASCII table styling). No table data should be lost or abbreviated. Accuracy is critical: the output should match the source exactly, free of OCR mistakes, split words, or missing accents. I will spo...

    I have a single document that needs to exist in Google Docs and I want it to display my own creation and last-modified timestamps rather than the automatic ones. I will supply the exact dates and times for each field once we begin. What I need from you is a reliable way to embed those timestamps so that: • in Google Drive the “Created” and “Last modified” columns show my chosen dates You’re free to use whatever technique works—metadata editing tools, PowerShell, Python, Google Drive API, Office XML hacks—so long as the end result is two fully editable files reflecting the dates I provide. A short note on the steps you took will help me reproduce the process in the future. Absolute discretion is expected, as the documents are private.

    I have a batch of JPEG scans that must be turned into clean, editable text. Accuracy is critical—misspellings, dropped lines, or formatting errors will slow the project down on my end, so I’m looking for someone who is comfortable running reliable OCR (ABBYY FineReader, Tesseract, Adobe Acrobat, or a comparable tool) and then proof-reading the output before delivery. Deliverable • One Word document (or plain-text file if you prefer) containing the extracted text, laid out in the same order as the source images.

    I need a Nanonets OCR model trained so it can live inside a Zapier workflow and automatically feed Zapier Tables. The source material is a steady stream of Word documents along with occasional handwritten images. From the Word files the model must reliably capture names and full postal addresses; from the handwritten images it should grab email addresses that people jot down. Here is the flow I have in mind: once a new file lands in the designated cloud folder, Zapier calls the Nanonets endpoint, gets back the parsed data, and writes each record—name, street, city, state, ZIP, and email—sample descriptions and number of samples into its own row inside an existing Zapier Table. You’ll receive anonymized samples for both document types, plus access to my Nanonets dash...

    I need an MVP that reliably signs in to India’s Government-e-Marketplace (GeM), navigates the tender section, and extracts every newly published tender that matches a few simple search filters. The run has to survive GeM’s multifactor login, pausing for my one-time password before it resumes. Once logged in, the robot should download each tender PDF, run OCR so all text becomes searchable, push both the raw file and the extracted JSON to an S3 bucket, and log every step so the entire flow is auditable later. The data will ultimately feed client-facing reports, so accuracy and repeatability are a must. Stack requirements • Playwright is non-negotiable for the browser automation • Python for the backend worker and API endpoints • Tesseract, AWS Textract, or an...
