dsh-windows-ocr
OCR attached images locally using the built-in Windows OCR engine before sending text to DeepSeek Harness models.
Install
$ dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-windows-ocrPlugin Overview & Capabilities
AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.
Key Capabilities
- Performs local OCR processing on attached images via Windows.Media.Ocr without sending image bytes to model providers
- Provides a capability shim to allow text-only models to accept image attachments at admission time
- Intercepts agent/pre-step lifecycle to replace image blocks with structured <image_ocr> text blocks
- Supports configurable language selection via BCP-47 tags and optional vision-model passthrough
- Implements process-level caching for OCR results keyed by attachment id and automatic temp-file cleanup
Useful For
- Using text-only LLMs with screenshots, receipts, or document images while maintaining privacy
- Extracting text from images without paying for or requiring multimodal model vision APIs
- Preventing sensitive image files from leaving the local machine during model inference on Windows
Who It Fits
- Windows users of DeepSeek Harness who want local OCR processing
- Developers working with text-only models who need to extract text from images
- Privacy-conscious users wanting to prevent raw image serialization to remote providers
Documented Limitations
- Requires Windows 10 or 11 with appropriate Windows OCR language packs installed
- Animated GIFs only have their first frame recognized
- OCR text cache is in-memory per process up to maxCacheEntries (default 200)
- Fails closed: if the plugin is unloaded or uninstalled, text models will refuse image attachments
DSH Compatibility
Version-specific runtime evidence collected by DSH Plugin. A missing result means we have not tested that combination yet.
Security Signals
Objective signals discovered from package metadata and source inspection. These are not a guarantee that a plugin is safe.
