What problem does it solve?
OCR is a practical solution for turning handwritten or scanned documents into searchable, editable Markdown text. This skill streamlines archival, note-taking, and information sharing by producing consistent Markdown output from image-based sources.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-backend OCR: supports copilot-cli, github-api, gemini, openai, anthropic, cursor, and easyocr to maximize transcription accuracy.
- Per-image outputs: writes a .ocr.md file next to each source image with provenance and source references.
- Directory support: recursively scans directories for image files and processes them in batch for large collections.
- Model-quality selection: automatically selects the best available backend/model via a centralized registry.
Quick Start
Provide an image file path or directory to OCR and generate per-image Markdown transcripts.
