DeepSeek-OCR Client

Use it when

• You want to run DeepSeek-OCR on images locally through a point-and-click desktop app instead of writing Python inference scripts
• You need to extract text from screenshots or scanned images on your own GPU or Apple Silicon machine, with clickable regions to copy individual blocks

What it solves

Not the fit when

• PDF files (listed only as a future goal)
• headless or server-side batch OCR pipelines
• platforms other than Windows 10/11 without accepting experimental support
• PDF ingestion
• batch processing many files
• programmatic OCR API integration
• audio or video transcription

Install

Download and extract the repo ZIP, then run start-client.bat (Windows) or start-client.sh (Linux/macOS); first run auto-installs dependencies. Requires Node.js 18+ and Python 3.12+, with CUDA, Apple Silicon MPS, or CPU fallback

Invoke

Launch the app, click Load Model to download/load DeepSeek-OCR, drag-and-drop an image, click Run OCR; click detected regions to copy text or export results as a ZIP with markdown and images
