OCR Reader

Available in Classic and VPC

OCR Reader provides General and Template domains created in CLOVA OCR in a web-based UI so that even non-developers can use them easily. To use OCR Reader, you need storage. You can create storage by using Object Storage on the NAVER Cloud Platform. For more information on how to create a bucket using Object Storage, see the Object Storage user guide.
