Ocr Scanner Image

Perform OCR on image files (jpg, png, bmp, gif, tiff) using the system's `tesseract` binary and return extracted plain text.

This skill's primary wrapper (scripts/ocr.sh) performs local OCR using tesseract and is consistent with the description—use this if you want offline processing. Before installing or running: (1) Ensure you have tesseract and pdftoppm (or equivalent) installed—the SKILL metadata does not declare these but the scripts depend on them. (2) Inspect and avoid running scripts/example.py on sensitive images: it uploads files to the external ocr.space API using a public demo key, which will transmit your image contents off-host. (3) If you only want local OCR, delete or ignore example.py and run ocr.sh directly. (4) Be cautious about adding the optional alias to your shell config—it's safe but modifies your shell environment. If you want more assurance, ask the skill author to (a) declare required binaries in metadata, (b) remove or clearly document the network-upload example, or (c) provide a pure-local example only.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: ocr-scanner-image Version: 1.0.1 The skill provides OCR functionality using either a local Tesseract binary (scripts/ocr.sh) or the external OCR.space API (scripts/example.py). While the Python script sends file data to an external endpoint (api.ocr.space), this behavior is clearly documented in references/api_reference.md and is consistent with the tool's stated purpose. The bash script handles local processing safely with proper quoting, and no evidence of malicious intent, hidden exfiltration, or prompt injection was found.
