  This method is not suitable for development. Only one image can be recognized at a time.

• Make OCR API calls with API 3.0 Explorer

  This method allows you to make API calls, verify signatures, generate SDK codes, access APIs, etc.

• Make OCR API calls with SDKs
  If you are an experienced developer, you can call OCR APIs with SDKs complied by Tencent Cloud, which support languages such as Python, Java, PHP, Go, Node.JS, and.Net. You can download the SDK in the corresponding service documentation or through the SDK Center.
