## Description

Ming’s OCR Scanner lets users scan printed documents directly from a browser or

using the Tesseract executable. Extracted text can be saved into the WordPress database
or sent to an external application through a webhook.

 * Optional server-side OCR using Tesseract
 * Image upload support
 * Automatic document detection
 * Convert OCR text into structured JSON
 * Save scan history in WordPress
 * Send OCR results to any webhook
 * REST API for custom integrations
 * Mobile-friendly scanning interface

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin to the “/wp-content/plugins/” directory, or install it through
    the WordPress Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Open “Mings OCR Scanner” from the WordPress admin menu.

 5.  * Tesseract.js (browser-based)

 6. Configure your webhook or scan history options if desired.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin require Tesseract to be installed?

No.

You can use tesseract.min.js entirely inside the browser without installing anything
on your server.

If you prefer server-side OCR, install the Tesseract executable on your server and
configure its path in the plugin settings. Here is the download link: https://tesseract-
ocr.github.io/tessdoc/Installation.html

### Does it work on mobile phones?

Yes. Just open your WordPress website installed with this plugin. Go to dashboard,
then go to this plugin’s admin page.

### Can OCR results be saved?

Yes. Scanned text can be stored in the WordPress database for later viewing. Later
you can export it as csv files.

### Can I send OCR results to another application?

Yes. The plugin can send structured OCR results to any webhook endpoint.

### Which OCR engine is more accurate?

Accuracy depends on document quality. Server-side Tesseract is generally faster 
and more suitable for large workloads, while tesseract.min.js requires no server
installation and works entirely in the user’s browser.
