OCR Engine Selection

OCR.space Free OCR API
1

During testing I used the free OCRSpace API version with Engine 3 to successfully recognize stylized text in my test images. Worked perfectly. I just upgraded to a PRO account and now any attempt to use Engine 3 times out, ever for ultra-simple images, with [OCR ERROR on page 1] E101: Timed out waiting for results.

Engine 2 works correctly (doesn’t time out) but mangles stylized words and makes multiple text recognition mistakes that Engine 3 didn’t.

I’d really like to be able use Engine 3 for these reasons. Any ideas what causes the timeout issue?

Thanks!

I have exactly the same situation here. Why does engine 3 works well with the free ocr space but not with the pro subscription?
