Batch OCR with PureHub’s Mini‑App

PureHub’s OCR suite (one of 26 free, open‑source mini‑apps) now supports scanning up to 20 images from the gallery in one batch. This feature is handy when you have multi‑page documents photographed on Android.

How it works

1. Language packs on demand – The app loads English, Vietnamese or Simplified Chinese packs only when needed, keeping the download size small.
2. Batch queue – Selected images are placed in a queue; each image is fed to the OCR engine sequentially, and the resulting text is stored alongside the original picture.
3. Result handling – After processing, PureHub returns a searchable text file per page and a combined PDF if you wish.

Practical tip

When processing mixed‑language documents, pre‑select the appropriate language pack for each batch to avoid unnecessary re‑loading. The queue runs asynchronously, so the UI stays responsive even for 20 pages.

Try it

Open the OCR mini‑app, tap the gallery icon, choose up to 20 photos, and press Start OCR. The batch finishes in seconds and you can export the text.
