Aspose.OCR Cloud is a fast and reliable REST API for optical character recognition. With it, you can add optical character recognition to your applications without worrying about system requirements – all resource‑intensive tasks are performed by high‑performance servers maintained by Aspose. The API supports European, Cyrillic and Chinese languages and can recognize scanned images, smartphone photos, screenshots, areas of images, and scanned PDFs, returning results in the most popular document and data exchange formats, including JSON. This SDK greatly simplifies the integration of Aspose.OCR Cloud services into your Java applications. It wraps all the routine operations such as establishing connections, sending API requests, and parsing responses into a few readable and maintainable methods, allowing you to focus on the tasks at hand rather than the technical details. The Java SDK is completely open source without any restrictions or limitations. You can use it along with demo applications for any projects, including commercial applications, and modify any part of the code as needed.
