- **Engine 2**: Better for complex backgrounds, rotated text, road signs, license plates.
- **Engine 3**: Best quality, 200+ languages, handwriting recognition, table/layout detection.
Enable table mode for structured documents like receipts and invoices.
extract_text_with_coordinates
Extract Text with Coordinates
Extracts text from an image or PDF with **word-level bounding box coordinates** (position, height, width) for each recognized word, organized by lines.
Useful for overlaying recognized text on the original image, building text annotation tools, or extracting text from specific regions.
generate_searchable_pdf
Generate Searchable PDF
Converts a scanned image or PDF into a searchable (sandwich) PDF with an embedded text layer. The generated PDF can be searched, copied from, and indexed.
