What it does
Extracting With OCR is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use when extracting text from scanned PDFs, photographed pages, or images that have no embedded text layer. Covers OCR backends, language packs, force-OCR, and performance tuning.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Extracting text from scanned PDFs
- Photographed pages
- Images that have no embedded text layer
Example prompts
- “/extracting-with-ocr”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e7b281. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
aptbrewpip
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Extracting With OCR loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 474 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:58
sudo apt install tesseract-ocr-deu tesseract-ocr-jpn tesseract-ocr-fra - NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:61
sudo apt install tesseract-ocr-<iso639-2>
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- extracting-with-ocr
- description
- Use when extracting text from scanned PDFs, photographed pages, or images that have no embedded text layer. Covers OCR backends, language packs, force-OCR, and performance tuning.
Extracting with OCR
Use this when a document is image-based: scanned PDFs, photographed pages, screenshots, JPEG/PNG/TIFF with text. Kreuzberg auto-OCRs raster images and auto-detects PDFs that lack a text layer. Force it on when extraction returned empty/garbled text from a PDF that "looks" textual.
When to force OCR
- Extraction returned an empty
contentfield, but the file opens visually. - The PDF text layer is junk (copy-paste from a viewer produces gibberish).
- You want consistent output across mixed scanned + digital PDFs.
kreuzberg extract scan.pdf --force-ocr=true
kreuzberg extract scan.pdf --ocr=true --ocr-language engIf a page has an unreliable text layer, --force-ocr=true re-rasterizes
and runs OCR on every page.
Backends
Tesseract is the default and ships with the CLI — no extra install. Other backends are opt-in:
| Backend | Flag | Install | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tesseract | --ocr-backend tesseract (default) | bundled | Best general-purpose, 100+ languages via tessdata. |
| PaddleOCR | --ocr-backend paddle-ocr | bundled (ONNX Runtime) | Strong on Asian scripts. Not available on WASM or Windows. |
| EasyOCR | --ocr-backend easyocr | Python binding (pip install kreuzberg[easyocr]) | Heavier model. CUDA accel via easyocr_kwargs={"gpu": True}. |
| VLM (vision) | layout + a multimodal LLM via config | configured per backend | Use when OCR fails on dense or handwritten layouts. |
Pick Tesseract first. Switch only when accuracy is unacceptable.
Language packs
Tesseract uses ISO 639-2 codes. Default is eng. Combine with +:
kreuzberg extract menu.jpg --ocr=true --ocr-language "eng+deu"
kreuzberg extract bilingual.pdf --ocr-language "eng+jpn"
kreuzberg extract any.pdf --ocr-language all # all installed packsInstall missing packs at the OS level:
# macOS
brew install tesseract-lang
# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt install tesseract-ocr-deu tesseract-ocr-jpn tesseract-ocr-fra
# Specific lang only
sudo apt install tesseract-ocr-<iso639-2>Kreuzberg fails fast with a helpful error if you request a language pack that is not installed. Read the error — it names the missing file.
Useful flags
--ocr=true— enable OCR (auto-enabled for images and scanned PDFs).--force-ocr=true— OCR every page even if a text layer exists.--disable-ocr=true— never OCR (extract embedded text only or fail).--ocr-language <lang>— single code or+-joined list, orall.--ocr-backend <tesseract|paddle-ocr|easyocr>— pick backend.--ocr-auto-rotate=true— pre-rotate via the auto-rotate model.--acceleration <cpu|coreml|cuda|tensorrt|auto>— ONNX accelerator for paddle-ocr / auto-rotate / layout models.

Performance tips
- Cache is on by default. Repeated extraction of the same file + config is
instant. Do not pass
--no-cache=trueunless you have a reason. - For batch OCR, use
kreuzberg batch *.pdf --ocr=true— internal worker pool parallelizes across CPU cores. Cap with--max-concurrent Nif memory is tight. - Raise
--target-dpi(default 300) only for low-resolution scans. Higher DPI is slower; 200 is usually enough for printed text. - Enable
--ocr-auto-rotate=trueonly when pages may be rotated; the classifier adds latency. - On Apple Silicon,
--acceleration coremltypically beats CPU for paddle-ocr and layout detection.
Config file alternative
Long flag chains belong in kreuzberg.toml — auto-discovered from cwd
upward.
force_ocr = true
output_format = "markdown"
[ocr]
backend = "tesseract"
language = "eng+deu"
auto_rotate = trueThen just run:
kreuzberg extract document.pdfCommon failure modes
- "missing tessdata" — install the language pack at OS level (see above).
- Empty content on a scanned PDF without
--force-ocr— the file has a bogus zero-width text layer. Re-run with--force-ocr=true. - OCR on a rotated page — add
--ocr-auto-rotate=trueor pre-rotate. - Garbled CJK output — ensure the right language pack is installed and
passed via
--ocr-language; considerpaddle-ocrfor Chinese/Japanese.
See references/cli-reference.md and references/configuration.md in the
sibling kreuzberg skill for the full flag and config schema.
