Aspose.OCR Cloud REST API
Extract text from images and create searchable PDFs directly from the command line or Bash scripts without installing any software.
Get StartedAspose.OCR Cloud is a powerful and cost-effective REST API for optical character recognition. With it, you can recognize texts in 26 languages based on Latin, Cyrillic and Chinese from scanned images, smartphone photos, screenshots, areas of images, and scanned PDFs. Recognition results are returned in the most popular document and data exchange formats, including plain text and JSON.
You do not need to install any software to use our OCR cloud services. Just use cURL commands or combine them into scripts for complex tasks. You can also use third party REST API tools like Postman.

Read photos and low-quality scans
Our API has powerful built-in image pre-processing filters that can correct rotated and skewed images, and automatically remove dirt, spots, scratches, glare, unwanted gradients, and other image defects. In combination with support for all image formats, it allows for reliable recognition of even smartphone photos. Most of the pre-processing and image correction is done automatically, so you will only have to intervene in difficult cases.
Recognize and convert
The API can read literally any image you can get from a scanner, camera or smartphone: PDF documents, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, and BMP images. Multi-page PDF documents and TIFF files are fully supported.
Recognition results are returned in the most popular document and data exchange formats: plain text, PDF, Microsoft Excel, CSV, and hOCR.
Minimal System Requirements
Aspose.OCR Cloud is an on-demand optical character recognition service. As such, it has no special hardware or operating system requirements - you can use it even on entry-level systems and mobile devices without loss of accuracy and performance.
We use highly reliable and high performance GPU-based Amazon servers to host our OCR engine, ensuring the fastest possible speed regardless of the number of requests.
Spell Check
While the OCR produces reliable results, dust and print defects might cause some symbols to be recognized incorrectly. Cloud OCR API has a built-in spell checker that automatically replaces misspelled words and frees you from having to manually correct the recognition results.
Create searchable PDFs
Convert a scanned PDF file to a searchable PDF document, which can be easily navigated and indexed. Text in searchable PDF documents can be selected, copied, and marked up.
Recognize images from the Internet
There is no need to upload images and PDF documents to the cloud storage for recognition. Just send the image web link to Cloud OCR and get the text.
