And what lib is using ocr.space for OCR?
I suspect they're using Tesseract as they've written a gui for it ( https://ocr.space/blog/p/free-ocr-windows.html ) but there's no way to find more.
Based on this github they might be using the microsoft ocr library.

They should have an API to point to. It is fairly accurate. I use them occasionally via ShareX, which uses their API for OCR.

Is the OCR-extraction performed in the client? if its transferred to a server then people should be aware of this so sensitive data from documents/pdf is not submitted.
Yeah apparently it uses https://ocr.space/ , deal-breaker for me.
On the other hand, the OCR.space OCR API has a very strict privacy policy:
https://ocr.space/privacypolicy - All uploaded images and the extracted text are deleted immediatly after processing.

I understand that hosted OCR, just like SaaS in general, is not suitable for every use case. On the other hand, the OCR.space OCR API has a very strict privacy policy: https://ocr.space/privacypolicy - All uploaded images and the extracted text are deleted immediatly after processing.

Until they are served with a subpoena for a particular client, or a sweeping subpoena to store everything forever, or the company is sold and the new parent has different values, or the company decides to mine customer data for advertising uses, or there's a bug in the software, or there's a long-lived cache of the data, or it gets into their backups accidentally or deliberately, or they don't keep the data but keep "just" the meta-data, or they do statistics or analytics before deleting the data, or they are hacked, or they simply change their minds.
In terms of privacy, even a non-free non-open-source local app with DRM or license management is better than a server app with a "strict privacy policy". With a good firewall setup, you can be pretty sure that the local app won't betray you.
