OCR Reader

Upload an image of printed text and get back the text the model reads. No code needed: upload, wait a few seconds, read the result.

Model

microsoft/Florence-2-large, run with the <OCR> task.

Why this model

It is open (MIT license), reads whole images rather than single cropped lines, and is fast enough to run on a free ZeroGPU Space.

Tests

Input	Result
Clean screenshot of printed text	(fill in)
Slightly angled or dim photo of a page or sign	(fill in)
Handwriting (expected to fail)	(fill in)

Limitations

Handwriting, very stylized fonts, and tiny or blurry text are likely to be misread.
