Tesseract Server

Self-hosted HTTP server that wraps Google Tesseract as a REST OCR API via Docker.

Servicefree

Tesseract Server is a small, self-hosted HTTP server that wraps Google Tesseract to convert photos, images, and scanned documents into text over a simple REST API. It ships as a lightweight multi-arch Docker image (including Raspberry Pi support), accepts multipart file uploads with JSON-configurable OCR options, and supports installing additional language packs at runtime. It's built for developers who want OCR available as a self-hosted API endpoint rather than integrating the Tesseract CLI directly or using a cloud OCR service.
