# DeepSeek OCR

> [!NOTE]  
> Note currently only [NexaSDK](https://github.com/NexaAI/nexa-sdk) supports this model's GGUF.

## Quickstart

1. **Install [NexaSDK](https://github.com/NexaAI/nexa-sdk)**
2. Run the model locally with one line of code:

```bash
nexa infer NexaAI/DeepSeek-OCR-GGUF
 ```
3. Then drag your image to terminal or type into the image path


case 1 : extract text
```bash
<your-image-path> Free OCR.
```
case 2 : extract bounding box
```bash
<your-image-path> <|grounding|>Convert the document to markdown. 
```

## Model Description
**DeepSeek OCR** is a high-accuracy optical character recognition model built for extracting text from complex visual inputs such as documents, screenshots, receipts, and natural scenes.  
It combines vision-language modeling with efficient visual encoders to achieve superior recognition of multi-language and multi-layout text while remaining lightweight enough for edge or on-device deployment.

## Features
- **Multilingual OCR** — recognizes printed and handwritten text across major global languages.  
- **Document Layout Understanding** — preserves structure such as tables, paragraphs, and titles.  
- **Scene Text Recognition** — robust against lighting, distortion, and low-quality captures.  
- **Lightweight & Fast** — optimized for CPU and GPU acceleration.  
- **End-to-End Pipeline** — supports image-to-text and structured JSON output.  

## Use Cases
- Digitizing scanned documents or PDFs  
- Extracting text from mobile camera inputs or screenshots  
- Invoice and receipt parsing  
- OCR-based search and indexing systems  
- Visual question answering or document agents  

## Inputs and Outputs
**Input:**  
- Image file (JPEG, PNG, or tensor array)  
- Optional parameters for language hints or layout detection  

**Output:**  
- Extracted text (plain text or structured format with bounding boxes)  
- Confidence scores per word or region  

## Integration
DeepSeek OCR can be integrated through:  
- Python API (`pip install deepseek-ocr`)  
- REST or gRPC endpoints for server deployment
