silicon-paddle-ocr is an agent skill for PaddleOCR text extraction via Silicon wrappers.

About

The silicon-paddle-ocr skill integrates PaddleOCR optical character recognition for extracting text from images and scanned documents through Silicon platform wrappers. It documents model selection, language packs, batch image processing, and post-processing cleanup for structured output such as tables or lines of text. Agents configure inference parameters, handle common OCR failure modes like skewed scans or low contrast, and route extracted text into downstream parsing or search pipelines. The skill triggers when users need on-device or hosted OCR for document digitization workflows in agent automation tasks.

  • PaddleOCR integration for image and document text extraction.
  • Language pack and model selection guidance.
  • Batch image processing with post-processing cleanup.
  • Handles skew, contrast, and common OCR failure modes.
  • Routes extracted text into downstream parsing pipelines.

OCR - Image Text Recognition

Use PaddleOCR to extract text content from images. Supports single image or batch processing.

Overview

This skill provides optical character recognition (OCR) capabilities using the PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR-VL-1.5 model via the SiliconFlow API. Extract text from JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, and GIF images.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when:

  • User wants to extract text from an image
  • User asks to OCR a screenshot or photo
  • User needs to read text from an image file
  • User mentions text recognition from images

How to Use

Prerequisites

Ensure the SILICONFLOW_API_KEY environment variable is set:

export SILICONFLOW_API_KEY="your_api_key"

Basic Usage

Execute the OCR script:

python3 scripts/ocr_skill.py [options] image_path

Arguments

ArgumentDescription
imagesImage file path(s) or glob pattern (required)
-k, --api-keyAPI key (default: from SILICONFLOW_API_KEY env)
-m, --modelOCR model name (default: PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR-VL-1.5)
-p, --promptRecognition prompt for custom behavior
-j, --jsonOutput results in JSON format
-o, --outputSave results to specified file
--max-tokensMaximum tokens in response (default: 2000)

Examples

Single image:

python3 scripts/ocr_skill.py /path/to/image.jpg

Multiple images with glob:

python3 scripts/ocr_skill.py /path/to/images/*.png

JSON output format:

python3 scripts/ocr_skill.py --json /path/to/image.jpg

Custom prompt for table extraction:

python3 scripts/ocr_skill.py -p "Please identify and format table content as Markdown" /path/to/table.jpg

Save to file:

python3 scripts/ocr_skill.py --json --output results.json /path/to/images/*.jpg

Output Format

Text output (default):

--- image.jpg ---
识别到的文字内容
识别到 X 处文字区域

JSON output:

{
  "image.jpg": {
    "image_path": "/path/to/image.jpg",
    "image_size": [width, height],
    "texts": [
      {
        "text": "识别的文字",
        "box": [[x1, y1], [x2, y2], [x3, y3], [x4, y4]]
      }
    ],
    "full_text": "所有文本的组合"
  },
  "image2.png": { ... }
}

Coordinates Explanation:

  • LOC values are normalized coordinates converted to pixel coordinates
  • Conversion: pixel = LOC × (image_size / LOC_max_value)
  • LOC max_value is approximately 972 (may vary by model/image)
  • The box field provides the four corner coordinates of each text region in pixel format

Supported Image Formats

  • JPG/JPEG
  • PNG
  • WebP
  • BMP
  • GIF

Error Handling

If processing fails:

  • Check that the image file exists
  • Verify the SILICONFLOW_API_KEY is valid
  • Ensure the API endpoint is reachable

Images that fail to process will show an error message, and other images will continue processing.
