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 a Microsoft Power Automate Desktop flow that takes the repetitive grind out of my current data-entry routine. The job is strictly about data extraction and entry: the bot should read plain text that appears on screen inside various applications (think scrolling lists, pop-ups, or standard desktop windows) and then place that information exactly where it belongs in our target spreadsheet/database. Here is what matters most: • Capture on-screen text reliably even when window positions change. • Paste or write those values into the predefined fields I will show you. • Run unattended once triggered and provide a simple way for me to edit source or destination selectors later. You can lean on the native UI automation, text scraping, and, if needed, OCR features alrea...

    I have a batch of PDF documents that contain structured tables I need transferred verbatim into an Excel workbook. All information must be copied—not re-typed—so the original values, symbols, and spacing remain intact. Accuracy is essential: every row, column, and header from the PDFs should end up in the corresponding cell on the Excel sheet with no omissions or formatting drift. You are free to use any combination of Adobe Acrobat, OCR utilities, or manual selection that guarantees clean, error-free output, but the final deliverable has to be an .xlsx file that mirrors the original layout. Deliverable • One Excel workbook containing the complete data from all supplied PDFs, ready for me to sort and filter immediately.

    I have a batch of PDF documents whose text must be keyed directly into an online form I’ll provide. This is purely online data entry—no offline spreadsheets—so you’ll be working inside a browser the entire time. The content is straightforward text; each PDF becomes a single record in the web portal. Accuracy is critical. If you choose to run OCR first, you’ll still need to proof-read every line so the final submission matches the original layout, spelling, and punctuation. I’ll perform random checks before sign-off. Deliverables • All text from the assigned PDFs entered and saved in the online system • A brief note listing any unreadable characters or ambiguities you encountered Once you confirm availability and estimated turnaround, I&rsq...

    I am ready to commission a full-scale Electronic Document Management and Archiving System for a leading transport operator in Saudi Arabia. The project begins with scanning and digitising roughly 10,000 – 50,000 legacy files—primarily administrative documents and financial records—and capturing them with Arabic/English OCR. Each file must carry the three core metadata tags we rely on: Date of creation, Department, and Document type. Once digitised, I need the EDMS configured for enterprise­-grade governance: role-based access, detailed audit trails, strict version control and immutable backups, all running in an HA topology that satisfies PDPL requirements. SSO and MFA must tie seamlessly into Microsoft 365, while automated workflows and data exchange connect back ...

    C# Tesseract Local OCR API
    3 days left
    Verified

    I need a small, self-hosted OCR service written in C# (.NET 6 or later) that accepts a Base64-encoded image and instantly returns the recognised text. Tesseract must be the engine under the hood, configured for English only, with any preprocessing kept lightweight so the full request/response cycle stays in the low-millisecond range on a typical workstation. The DLL or minimal Web API you build has to be thread-safe so several parallel calls will not block each other. I’ll plug this straight into existing .NET applications, so please expose a clean public method or REST endpoint, document every parameter, and keep external dependencies to a minimum. Deliverables • Complete, well-commented source code and solution files • Build/run instructions and NuGet package li...

    I have a collection of handwritten notes that were captured with my phone and saved as JPEG images. I need those notes turned into clean, editable text. The handwriting is generally clear, but I still want each line double-checked so the final document matches the original wording, spelling, and basic layout. I will upload the JPEGs to a shared drive and let you know the preferred order. You can use OCR as a starting point if you like, yet every page must be proof-read manually—accuracy matters more than speed. Deliverables • One neatly formatted Word or Google Docs file for each original image, preserving headings and bullet points where they exist. • A single consolidated file that combines all pages in sequence. • A short note highlighting any words you were u...

    I have a batch of scanned PDF files that contain purely textual information. My goal is to have every word from those scans transferred into an editable digital format with 100 % accuracy, preserving original spelling, punctuation, and basic layout (paragraph breaks, headings, and any bullet points that appear in the source). The files are straightforward text—no tables or complex graphics—so this is largely a matter of careful transcription and light formatting. You are free to use OCR software if that speeds you up, but I still need you to proof-read line-by-line against the PDF because errors must be eliminated before delivery. Deliverables • A single Microsoft Word document (or Google Doc) for each PDF provided, saved with the same base filename. • All text ...

    I have a collection of digital PDF documents that contain columns of pure numbers—no text, just figures that must be captured exactly as they appear. Your task is to transfer every numeric value from each PDF into a clean, structured file of my choosing (Excel or Google Sheets is fine; let me know which you prefer). Accuracy matters more than speed here: every digit has to match the source PDF, and the final sheet should mirror the original order so I can run analyses immediately. If you spot any illegible or inconsistent figures, flag them instead of guessing; I will clarify. Deliverable • A spreadsheet populated with all numeric data from every supplied PDF, double-checked for transcription errors and ready for basic calculations or pivot-table work. Once the sheet ...

    I have between 50 and 100 texts, emails, and screenshots that need to be turned into a clean, court-ready evidence binder for an upcoming Landlord and Tenant Board hearing. The task is strictly administrative: pull every message, place it in a timeline ordered by relevance (not simply by date), label each item as an Exhibit, and then compile everything into a single, searchable PDF. I work primarily in Microsoft Word, so I’d like the working file set up there first—complete with headers, page numbers, and clear exhibit tags—before you export the final version to PDF. Basic OCR or text-recognition is a plus, but not mandatory as long as the finished binder reads well and prints crisply. Deliverables: • A Word document containing the fully ordered timeline, each item...
