What is GLM-OCR Text Extraction?
The GLM-OCR skill is a high-performance document parsing utility designed for the Openclaw Skills ecosystem. It leverages the GLM-OCR layout parsing API to transform visual data—including screenshots, photos, and scanned PDFs—into clean, actionable Markdown text. Unlike standard OCR tools, this skill excels at preserving document structure, making it ideal for developers and researchers who need to digitize complex layouts.
By integrating this skill into your workflow, you gain access to state-of-the-art recognition capabilities for handwriting, mathematical notations, and multi-column document structures. It serves as a reliable bridge between physical or static digital documents and your AI-driven automation pipelines, ensuring that no data is lost in translation.
GLM-OCR Text Extraction Use Cases
- Converting screenshots of code or documentation into editable Markdown text.
- Digitizing handwritten notes and archival documents with high precision.
- Extracting complex tables from financial reports and converting them directly to Markdown format.
- Parsing academic papers to capture LaTeX-formatted mathematical formulas accurately.
- Automating the processing of scanned PDF invoices or receipts for data entry.
How GLM-OCR Text Extraction Works
- The user provides a local file path or a remote URL pointing to an image (PNG, JPG) or a PDF document.
- The Openclaw Skills runner executes the GLM-OCR CLI script with the specified input parameters.
- The skill sends the document to the GLM-OCR layout parsing API for deep analysis.
- The API identifies text blocks, tables, and formulas, applying layout recognition to maintain logical flow.
- The skill returns a structured JSON response containing the extracted text in Markdown and raw layout details.
GLM-OCR Text Extraction Setup
To get started with GLM-OCR in your Openclaw Skills environment, follow these steps:
- Obtain your API key from the Zhipu AI Platform.
- Configure the skill using the provided setup utility:
# Replace YOUR_KEY with your actual Zhipu API key
python scripts/config_setup.py setup --api-key YOUR_KEY
- Ensure the
ZHIPU_API_KEYis available in your environment variables.
GLM-OCR Text Extraction Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill produces a structured JSON output to ensure compatibility with downstream AI agents. The following table describes the primary fields:
| Field | Type | Description |
