Llama OCR

An npm library to run OCR for free with Llama 3.2 Vision.

---

Installation

npm i llama-ocr

Usage

import { ocr } from "llama-ocr";

const markdown = await ocr({
  filePath: "./trader-joes-receipt.jpg", // path to your image (soon PDF!)
  apiKey: process.env.TOGETHER_API_KEY, // Together AI API key
});

How it works

This library uses the free Llama 3.2 endpoint from Together AI to parse images and return markdown. Paid endpoints for Llama 3.2 11B and Llama 3.2 90B are also available for faster performance and higher rate limits.

You can control this with the model option which is set to Llama-3.2-90B-Vision by default but can also accept free or Llama-3.2-11B-Vision.

Roadmap

• [x] Add support for local images OCR
• [x] Add support for remote images OCR
• [ ] Add support for single page PDFs
• [ ] Add support for multi-page PDFs OCR (take screenshots of PDF & feed to vision model)
• [ ] Add support for JSON output in addition to markdown
