Sample workflow

★ 6.5 · n8n · medium · 8 nodes

Sample workflow is an n8n automation template that demonstrates in-pipeline OCR — extracting text from images using the custom Tesseract Node built on Tesseract.js, with no external API calls required. Reach for it when you need to pull text from scans, screenshots, or photos entirely on-premises, when sending files to cloud OCR services is not an option, or when you want a ready-made starting point to wire image-to-text recognition into your own n8n flows. The template relies on a custom Tesseract Node that wraps Tesseract.js and runs recognition locally inside your self-hosted n8n instance. Trigger: Manual. Integrations: Tesseract Node. The direction is text extraction from images — not document generation or speech transcription (for those, separate tools apply). Works best for teams integrating local OCR into privacy-sensitive automation pipelines; not suited for streaming audio recognition or multi-page PDF processing without additional customisation.
