OCR skill using PaddleOCR model via SiliconFlow API. This skill should be used when the user asks to "recognize text from an image", "extract text from a photo", "OCR this image", "read text from screenshot", or mentions "PaddleOCR", "image text recognition", "text extraction from images".

OCR Image Text Recognition Use PaddleOCR to extract text content from images. Supports single image or batch processing. Overview This skill provides optical character recognition (OCR) capabilities using the PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR VL 1.5 model via the SiliconFlow API. Extract text from JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, and GIF images. When to Use Invoke this skill when: User wants to extract text from an image User asks to OCR a screenshot or photo User needs to read text from an image file User mentions text recognition from images How to Use Prerequisites Ensure the SILICONFLOW API KEY environment variable is set: Basic Usage Execute the OCR script: Arguments Argument Description images Image file path(s) or glob pattern (required) k, api key API key (default: from SILICONFLOW API KEY env) m, model OCR model name (default: PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR VL 1.5) p, prompt Recognition prompt for custom behavior j, json Output results in JSON format o, output Save results to specified file max tokens Maximum tokens in response (default: 2000) Examples Single image: Multiple images with glob: JSON output format: Custom prompt for table extraction: Save to file: Output Format Text output (default): JSON output : Coordinates Explanation: LOC values are normalized coordinates converted to pixel coordinates Conversion: pixel = LOC × (image size / LOC max value) LOC max value is approximately 972 (may vary by model/image) The box field provides the four corner coordinates of each text region in pixel format Supported Image Formats JPG/JPEG PNG WebP BMP GIF Error Handling If processing fails: Check that the image file exists Verify the SILICONFLOW API KEY is valid Ensure the API endpoint is reachable Images that fail to process will show an error message, and other images will continue processing.
