OpenOCR is a self-hosted OCR-as-a-Service REST API built in Go on top of Tesseract, containerized with Docker. It uses RabbitMQ for scalable message passing between HTTP and worker components and supports 31+ languages, PDF input, and image preprocessing chains.
Use cases
- host my own ocr rest api
- extract text from images with tesseract
- convert scanned pdfs to text via api
- run ocr service on kubernetes
- ocr images in multiple languages
- self-hosted ocr microservice with docker
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted OCR REST API instead of a paid cloud OCR service
- you need scalable, queue-based OCR processing with Docker or Kubernetes
- you need multilingual OCR or PDF-to-text support
When to avoid
- you need state-of-the-art OCR accuracy beyond Tesseract's capabilities
- you want a simple library to embed OCR in a single process rather than run a distributed service
- you need actively developed features - the project is in maintenance mode
