What it does
You give Claude an image or PDF with text in it. Claude runs a bundled script that sends it to the GLM-OCR service and returns the recognized text, keeping tables and formulas in a usable format. It works on printed, scanned, and handwritten material.
Who it’s for
A good fit for anyone working with Word, PDF, Excel or PowerPoint files and people who run the day-to-day of a business.
Do you need to code?
Some. To get the most from this one you may need to be comfortable with code, the command line or technical setup.
How to install
Add it to Claude as a skill. Download the skill folder from its source page, zip it, and upload it in Claude’s settings under Skills. See the step-by-step guide.
Safety note
Runs bundled Python scripts on your computer; needs a ZhiPu GLM API key.
Script files included: 2
As with any add-on, only install skills from sources you trust, and read what it does first.
