Abstract
Dynamically configuring OCR processing may include determining a device type and determining whether to perform optical character recognition (OCR) processing of the received image locally based on one or more OCR parameters. Example OCR parameters may include the device type, the image type, the size of the received image, the available amount of the memory, the measured/benchmarked throughput of OCR processing on the device relative to an OCR server throughput and network throughput, and/or the current level of network connectivity. If it is determined that OCR processing of the received image should be performed locally, the device may compute one or more name-value pairs corresponding to the received image and transmit the name-value pairs to a remote data server for processing.
