Actor - Image to Text

The actor takes an input image in a specified format (base64 or url) and using asked Optic Character Recognition (OCR) model (PaddleOCR or Tesseract) extracts textual data in required language (See OCR model documentations for available languages). The result is saved into Key-Value store as one of output formats (pdf, txt or bbox)

Field	Type	Description	Allowed values

ocr	String	Specific OCR model	`paddle` or `tesseract`
