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?

    I need help populating an Excel workbook with mixed data—both text and numbers—sourced from two places: scanned pages and several Word documents. The scanned material will require careful transcription or light OCR correction before it’s copied across, while the Word files can be copied-and-pasted but still need to be laid out consistently. Please keep every column clearly labeled, retain any numerical formatting (dates, currency, percentages, etc.), and double-check totals so the sheet is immediately ready for sorting and analysis. Deliverable: one clean, fully-populated .xlsx file containing all records from the supplied sources, error-free and formatted for easy filtering and summary.

    I have a PDF of well over 50 pages that blends narrative text with numerous embedded tables. I need every page reproduced in Microsoft Excel so the spreadsheet looks and reads exactly like the source—same column order, fonts as close as possible, spacing, and page breaks. Deliverables • One Excel workbook with a separate sheet for each original PDF page (or another clear structure that still preserves page order) • All text, table data, and simple graphics positioned to match the PDF layout identically • No loss of characters, line wraps, or merged-cell problems Acceptance criteria When I place the PDF and the Excel file side by side, nothing should be missing or displaced; scrolling through either should feel like the same document in a different format....

    I’m planning a utility-focused mobile app that helps users manage their day-to-day tasks on both Android and iOS. The core workflow is classic task management—create, edit, prioritise and mark items complete—but I also need one standout feature: automatic receipt scanning. The camera should capture a receipt, run on-device or cloud OCR, and attach the parsed data to the related task in seconds. I already have rough wireframes and the main user stories mapped out; what’s missing is an experienced mobile developer (or small team) who can turn them into a polished, stores-ready product. Feel free to build in Flutter, React Native, Kotlin/Swift, or another cross-platform stack you’re comfortable with, as long as performance and native camera access stay seamless....

    I want a working prototype of a truly pocket-sized gadget that can run completely offline. The flow is straightforward: a standard-resolution camera captures a printed or handwritten question, an on-board OCR module extracts the text, a lightweight language model generates a full textual answer, and the reply appears on a small built-in screen. No cloud calls, no external power brick—everything must live inside the device itself. I am open on the exact OCR library; Tesseract OCR is the obvious first choice, but if you have a lighter or faster alternative that will compile on something like a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, an ESP32-S3, or any comparable single-board solution, I’m happy to discuss it. For the AI model, please keep it compact (e.g., TensorFlow Lite, ONNX, or similar) s...

    I need a self-contained Python pipeline that runs on a Raspberry Pi, grabs an image from the Pi Camera, extracts any text it finds in the picture, sends that text to a lightweight AI function, then shows the AI’s short answer on a small SPI/I²C OLED display. Scope of work • Capture: Trigger the Pi Camera (libcamera or picamera2) and save a frame. • OCR: Use Tesseract, EasyOCR, or another open-source library to read text from the image. The input is always “text from images,” never scanned PDFs or live handwriting. • AI logic: Pass the recognised string to a simple question-answer routine (OpenAI API, Llama .cpp, or any efficient model you prefer) and return a concise, single-sentence reply. No lengthy explanations are needed. • Display: P...

    Several printed and scanned Malayalam documents need to be turned into clean, fully editable Word files. The source material ranges from short pamphlets to book-length manuscripts, so consistency in spelling, punctuation, and paragraph structure is essential. I will supply high-resolution scans (PDF or image format) for each batch. Your job is to type the text exactly as it appears, apply basic styles (headings, sub-headings, italics, bold where shown), and preserve any page or chapter breaks already present. Please proof-read as you go; I want the final files ready for immediate use without an extra review pass. Deliverable • One Word document for every source file, encoded in Unicode Malayalam (choose Kartika or Noto Sans Malayalam—whichever you are most comfortable with...

    I have a steady flow of PDF text documents that need to be re-typed accurately into a clean, digital format. Every character must be captured exactly as it appears, including punctuation, line breaks, and any special symbols. Copy-paste won’t work here—this is strictly manual data entry, so excellent typing speed and flawless attention to detail are essential. Alongside the document transcription, there’s an ongoing captcha-typing component. You’ll receive access to the captcha portal and clear guidelines on timing windows and entry quotas. Consistency matters more than raw volume; I need captchas entered steadily throughout the agreed shift so the queue never backs up. To keep the workflow smooth, I’ll share each PDF in batches, and you’ll return the ...

    I have a growing library of MP4 recordings of casino-grade slot machines and I need a reliable way to turn each session into structured data. For every spin I want the script to capture the start time, end time, bet size, win amount, any bonus triggers, and jackpots, then tally an overall spin count. The videos cover many different games, so the screen layout shifts from title to title; your solution therefore has to locate each region of interest on its own instead of relying on hard-coded coordinates. Because bonuses and jackpots are marked with visually distinct graphics, you can leverage that cue when classifying events. Accuracy matters more than raw speed, but I still expect processing to run unattended once configured. Please build a computer-vision / OCR pipeline that: • Au...

    I have two piles of material that need the same end-result: clean, editable files in Word, plus a matching PDF for easy sharing. One pile is handwritten notes that will arrive as clear scans; the other is existing PDFs that must be unlocked and fully editable in Word. All I’m after is standard, professional formatting—uniform fonts, proper headings, neat bullet lists, and accurate page numbering—so the new documents read just like the originals without any extra design work. Every source file should come back to me as: • a .docx file I can edit freely • a PDF export that mirrors the Word version Accuracy is crucial: no stray typos, no skipped pages, and tables or equations (if any) should be faithfully reproduced. If you already use Adobe Acrobat, MS Word...

    I have a collection of digital PDFs that contain both text and numbers, and I need every line transcribed with absolute accuracy. Your task is to key the data exactly as it appears in the PDFs into the data-capture template I will provide once we begin. Consistency in spelling, punctuation, and number formatting is essential; any deviation undermines later processing. You should be comfortable working directly from PDFs, maintaining a methodical pace that balances speed with meticulous self-checking. If you already use tools such as Excel, Google Sheets, or any similar data-entry software for your own verification, that will help you hit the accuracy target more quickly. Deliverable • A complete, error-free dataset covering all supplied PDF files. Acceptance test I will run a r...
