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 single piece of software that controls my dimension-weight-scanning workflow from start to finish. The application must talk directly to three devices on the line—scale, volumetric camera and scanner—capture the dimension and weight data, then trigger a photo of the package label. From that image the program should reliably pull out the text, barcode and any QR code in one pass. Once each package is processed, all results have to be written to an XML file structured by date, with an auto-incremented package ID embedded in the node. The same data set should immediately feed two more actions: 1. Generate a ready-to-print shipping label (standard 4x6 thermal format). 2. Push the full XML payload to our in-house system through a REST-style API. I expect the software t...

    I need a macOS desktop application that automatically creates multiple-choice exams from an academic PDF using AI. I want to: • Upload PDFs and have the system analyze their content without requiring me to input a set of questions. • Choose, before each generation, how many questions the exam will have and how many answer choices each question will display. • When answering, have the application indicate whether I answered correctly or incorrectly and provide the justification, citing the exact article, section, or page of the syllabus that supports the correct answer. Main technical requirements: • Native execution on macOS (an installable .app or equivalent), without a mandatory connection to external servers once installed, except to call the AI ​​API of your cho...

    I’m sitting on a few hundred PDF invoices and need an automated way to spot any that were issued twice. Because our numbering scheme uses custom prefixes and special characters, I’d like the detection to rely solely on customer-specific data: the vehicle card number, the number of litres dispensed, and the exact date-time of tanking. Here’s what I’m after: an AI-powered script or lightweight app that scans every PDF, extracts those three fields with high accuracy, and then flags, groups, and reports any duplicates it finds. A clear CSV or Excel file listing each suspected duplicate (together with a confidence score and page reference) will be enough for me to review and act on. Acceptance criteria • All PDFs processed automatically—no manual renamin...

    PROJECT: AI-POWERED CONVERSATIONAL DOCUMENT CLOUD ACCESSIBLE VIA WHATSAPP 1. Overview The project consists of creating an intelligent document cloud, accessible primarily through WhatsApp, where users can ask anything related to the company (machines, documentation, spare parts, regulations, internal data, etc.), and the AI automatically returns the correct information, either as a text response or by delivering the exact PDF document required. This is not a traditional app and not a simple chatbot. It is the living memory of the company, organized in the cloud and accessed conversationally. 2. Entry Point: WhatsApp WhatsApp is the only access channel. The phone number identifies the user. There are no usernames or passwords. The system automatically recognizes: The phone number T...

    Project Description We're looking for an experienced developer to build a fully automated poker bot that can play in free online poker tournaments (play-money / freerolls). This is a research and hobby project — not for real-money play. The system needs to combine game theory optimal (GTO) strategy with exploitative adjustments based on an expert human player's decision-making framework that we will provide. The bot should be able to join a table, read the game state visually, make decisions, and execute actions — all autonomously. What We're Building (3 Core Systems) 1. Poker Decision Engine (The Brain) Implement a GTO baseline strategy using frameworks like OpenSpiel, PokerRL, or equivalent Build an exploitative layer on top that adjusts based on opponent tend...

    I have a collection of more than 100 printed pages that must be distilled into a single, well-organized Google Sheet. Every page contains a mix of text, figures, and small images, and I need each of those elements captured in dedicated columns so the sheet mirrors the source material without a single omission. You are welcome to run an OCR pass to speed things up, but I expect you to proof-read every cell and correct any spacing, spelling, or number formatting issues the software misses. Images should appear in the sheet as embedded images or, if that proves unwieldy, as Drive links placed in their own column—whichever keeps the file light while still letting me view the originals at a click. Acceptance criteria • All text, numbers, and images from every page are present and...

    I have a collection of scanned documents—some neatly printed, others scribbled by hand—that all need to live inside a single Google Sheet. You will open each scan, read every line, and type the information into the correct column of the spreadsheet I share with you. Accuracy matters more than speed; every figure, spelling, and line break must match the original, even when the handwriting is less than perfect. Feel free to run the pages through your preferred OCR software if that helps, but double-check each result manually so the final sheet is error-free. I will supply the scans in PDF or high-resolution image format and show you the exact sheet layout before you begin. Deliverable: • A fully populated Google Sheet that mirrors the content of every scanned page, verif...

    I have a collection of scanned documents that contain clean, typed text and I need every word accurately transferred into a Google Sheets file. The scans are clear, so you may rely on your preferred OCR tool for speed, yet I still expect a human pass to catch mis-reads and keep the final sheet error-free. I will share the folder of PDFs along with a blank Google Sheet that already has the required column headers. Your job is to read each scan, enter the text exactly as it appears (no additional formatting beyond what the sheet already provides), and double-check for spelling or alignment issues. If OCR is part of your workflow, please proof the output before posting it so I don’t need to cycle back on obvious typos. Deliverable • A populated Google Sheets file with every...

The sheet will act as a live database, fed by daily order files (Excel or even PDF after OCR), and complemented by small Python or Apps Script utilities whenever a formula alone cannot cope.

    I have a collection of scanned documents that contain handwritten text. I need every word transcribed accurately into a Google Sheets file that follows a specific structure I will share once we start. You will be working exclusively with handwriting, so careful reading and a double-check on spelling are essential. While you are welcome to use OCR or any other helper tools, the final result must be manually verified and match the layout I’ll provide—headings, column order, and any cell-level notes all need to be in place. Deliverable: a single Google Sheet populated with the data from all scans, formatted exactly to the template specification and free of transcription errors.

    I have a collection of handwritten notes that I need transferred accurately into a digital text format. The task is strictly manual data entry—no OCR or automated tools—so attention to detail and consistency in spelling, punctuation, and line breaks is essential. You will receive clear scans of each page and a simple template showing how I want the text laid out. Because the notes include names, dates, and figure references, any typo could cause problems downstream. Please double-check every line before submitting. I am aiming for a clean, ready-to-use document, so deliverables are: • A single editable file (Word or Google Docs) reproducing the handwritten content exactly • A brief completion log noting any illegible words you had to flag If you can match the ori...

Right now the records live only on paper; I’ll scan each batch as PDFs and give you access via Google Drive. From there, your job is to key the details (dates, names, reference numbers, amounts, brief notes) into a single, well-structured spreadsheet or CSV—whichever you feel is best for later import into Excel or a simple database.
