Introduction

WeOCR is a platform for Web-enabled OCR (Optical Character Reader/Recognition) systems that enables people to use character recognition over networks. A WeOCR server receives document images from users, recognize texts in the images, and return recognition results to the users. WeOCR does not have its own character recognition engine. Instead, it is intended to accommodate various character recognition engines. WeOCR provides a simplified user interface so that more people can benefit from OCR easily.

Although some people would worry about the privacy of their documents, we think there are still a lot of applications of OCR in which privacy does not matter. We hope WeOCR will expand the range of OCR applications further.
