# ocr/app/engines/

|
OCR engine abstraction layer. Two categories of engines:
|
|
|
|
1. **OcrEngine subclasses** (image-to-text): PaddleOCR, Google Vision, Hybrid. Accept image bytes, return text + confidence + word boxes.
|
|
2. **GeminiEngine** (PDF-to-structured-data and VIN decode): Standalone module for maintenance schedule extraction and VIN decoding via Vertex AI. Accepts PDF bytes or VIN strings, returns structured JSON. Not an OcrEngine subclass because the interface signatures differ.

## Engine Selection
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
create_engine(config)
|
|
|
|
|
+-- Primary: PaddleOCR (local, fast, no API limits)
|
|
|
|
|
+-- Fallback: Google Vision (cloud, 1000/month limit)
|
|
|
|
|
v
|
|
HybridEngine (tries primary, falls back if confidence < threshold)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
GeminiEngine is created independently by ManualExtractor and the VIN decode router, not through the engine factory.
