DeepSeek-OCR Client

A real-time Electron-based desktop GUI for DeepSeek-OCR

Unaffiliated with DeepSeek

Features

• Drag-and-drop image upload
• Real-time OCR processing

• Click regions to copy
• Export results as ZIP with markdown images
• GPU acceleration (CUDA, MPS) or CPU fallback

Requirements

• Windows 10/11, other OS are experimental
• Node.js 18+ (download)
• Python 3.12+ (download)
• NVIDIA GPU with CUDA, Apple Silicon (MPS), or CPU

Note: MPS and CPU backends use @Dogacel's modified model instead of the base model.

Quick Start (Windows)

1. Extract the ZIP file
2. Run start-client.bat
   • First run will automatically install dependencies.
   • Subsequent runs will start quicker.
3. Load Model - Click the "Load Model" button in the app, this will download or load the model.
   • If this is the first run, this might take some time.
4. Drop an image or click the drop zone to select one.
5. Run OCR - Click "Run OCR" to process.

Note: if you have issues processing images but the model loads properly, please close and re-open the app and try with the default resolution for "base" and "size". This is a known issue, if you can help to fix it I would appreciate it!

Linux/macOS

Please follow Windows instructions but start with start-client.sh instead of start-client.bat.
