OCR.space
A customer sends a photo of a receipt, and your AI agent extracts every line of text using OCR.space's recognition engine. Scanned documents, screenshots, and camera photos become searchable data within the conversation. No file uploads to separate portals, no waiting for manual processing.
From receipt photos to multi-page PDFs, your AI agent processes images through OCR.space and returns structured text, searchable documents, and table data right inside the chat.

See how businesses use AI agents to extract text from customer-submitted photos, receipts, and scanned files during conversations, eliminating manual data entry entirely.
An employee photographs a lunch receipt and sends it to the AI agent via WhatsApp. The agent processes the image through OCR.space, extracts the restaurant name, date, items, and total amount, then presents the structured data for the expense report. The employee submits their claim in a single chat without typing a single number manually.
A legal assistant needs to find a specific clause in a stack of scanned contracts. They upload each PDF through the AI agent, which runs OCR.space with the searchable PDF option enabled. The agent returns searchable PDFs where the assistant can use Ctrl+F to locate the exact language. Hours of manual reading compressed into minutes of automated processing.
A multinational company receives customer forms in multiple languages. A French customer submits a scanned application form through chat. The AI agent sets the OCR.space language to French, extracts all text fields accurately, and presents the form data in the conversation. Support agents in any country can review the content without language barriers.

FAQs
The agent sends the image to OCR.space's Parse Image endpoint as a URL, base64-encoded data, or file upload. OCR.space processes the image and returns a JSON response containing the extracted text, word positions, and confidence data. The agent presents the clean text to the user immediately.
Yes. OCR.space processes multi-page PDFs by extracting text from each page sequentially. The agent submits the entire PDF and receives text results for all pages in a single response. You can specify the filetype as PDF to ensure proper handling of the document format.
Engine 1 is the standard recognition engine optimized for most documents and images. Engine 2 is an experimental engine that may perform better on certain content types like screenshots or low-contrast text. The agent defaults to Engine 1 but can switch to Engine 2 if you specify it in your configuration.
No. Images are sent to OCR.space for processing, and the extracted text is returned to the conversation in real time. Tars does not cache the original images, PDFs, or extraction results. OCR.space also has its own data handling policy for processed files.
OCR.space supports 24+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and more. The agent specifies the appropriate language code in each request, ensuring accurate recognition for the submitted document's language.
Digital PDFs already contain embedded text. OCR.space is for scanned documents, photos, and images where text exists only as pixels. Your AI agent handles both scenarios: for scannable images, it runs OCR processing. The user simply sends the file and gets extracted text back regardless of the source format.
Yes. By enabling the isCreateSearchablePdf option, the agent instructs OCR.space to return a searchable PDF with an invisible text layer overlaid on the original image. Users can then search within the PDF using standard find functionality. The text layer can optionally be hidden for a clean visual appearance.
The agent can enable the scale parameter, which tells OCR.space to upscale low-resolution images before processing. If the result quality is still poor, the agent reports the confidence level and suggests retaking the photo with better lighting or resolution. It does not return garbled text without warning.
