Hello, I needed assistance with something. When you use the
main site, you get an option to “download”, after OCR-ing. In the API,
you only get back an input, which looks nothing like the text in the
downloaded file, example, heres the downloaded file output link:
The TextSaver: Save Your Text Online - Fast, Free and Easy! Here’s the API output text link:
The TextSaver: Save Your Text Online - Fast, Free and Easy! API flags, these are the same as
the web request: ‘language’: ‘eng’, ‘OCREngine’: 3, ‘isTable’ : True,
‘detectOrientation’ : True, ‘isSearchablePdfHideTextLayer’ : True,
‘scale’: True,

The OCR API returns the OCR result in a JSON formatted response.

If you only need the text, then please look for the “ParsedText”: part of the JSON response. This is exactly the same text as displayed on the online ocr front page.

No, As shown in the output, it’s not the same output. It’s not formatted.
If I enter the download buttons output into chatGPT, it understands the content. If I put the parsedText. It does not understand. It’s not pure text, it’s formatted oddly.
