# WiseOCR Skill (powered by WiseDiag)

A high-accuracy OCR tool that converts a **single PDF or image file** into Markdown format. After processing, the Markdown result is automatically saved to disk — no additional saving is needed.

Supported formats: PDF, jpg, jpeg, png, webp, gif, bmp, tiff.

## Installation

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## 🔑 API Key Setup (Required)

**Get your API key:** 👉 [https://console.wisediag.com/apiKeyManage](https://console.wisediag.com/apiKeyManage)

The API key MUST be set as an environment variable. The script reads it automatically.

```bash
export WISEDIAG_API_KEY=your_api_key
```

## How to Process a File (Step-by-Step)

**NEVER call any API or HTTP endpoint directly. ONLY use the script below.**

Step 1: Set the API key (if not already set):

```bash
export WISEDIAG_API_KEY=your_api_key
```

Step 2: Run the script with the input file:

```bash
cd scripts

# Single PDF
python3 wiseocr.py -i "/path/to/input_filename.pdf"

# Single image
python3 wiseocr.py -i "/path/to/scan.png"
```

**IMPORTANT:** If the input file has been copied or renamed (e.g. to a temp path), always pass `-n` with the original filename (without extension) so the output file is named correctly:

```bash
python3 wiseocr.py -i "/tmp/ocr_input.pdf" -n "my_report"
# Output saved to: ~/.openclaw/workspace/WiseOCR/my_report.md
```

The Markdown result is saved to `~/.openclaw/workspace/WiseOCR/{name}.md` automatically. No additional saving is needed.

## Arguments

| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `-i, --input` | Input file: PDF or image — single file path (required) |
| `-n, --name` | Output filename stem (recommended when input file is renamed/copied) |
| `-o, --output` | Output directory (default: ~/.openclaw/workspace/WiseOCR) |
| `--dpi` | PDF rendering DPI, 72-600 (default: 200) |

## Data Privacy

**What happens to your files:**
1. Files are uploaded to WiseDiag's OCR API
2. Files are processed on WiseDiag servers
3. Processing results are returned to you
4. Files are not permanently stored on WiseDiag servers

### ⚠️ Do NOT upload documents containing personal sensitive information, including but not limited to:
- **Identity information**: ID card numbers, passport numbers, driver's license numbers
- **Financial information**: Bank account/card numbers, credit card numbers, tax IDs, financial statements
- **Biometric data**: Fingerprints, facial images, iris scans, voiceprints
- **Account credentials**: Passwords, PINs, security question answers, private keys
- **Personal contact details**: Home address, personal phone number, personal email

**For documents containing the above, use offline/local OCR tools instead.**
