🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install bottle-ocr-lib

Basic Usage

from bottle_ocr_lib import BottleOCR

# Initialize with your API key (validates once, then works offline)
ocr = BottleOCR(api_key="your-api-key-here")

# Process prescription bottle images
result = ocr.process_single_image("prescription_bottle.jpg")

# Access extracted prescription data
prescription = result['prescription']
print(f"💊 Medication: {prescription['medication_name']}")
print(f"💉 Dosage: {prescription['dosage']}")
print(f"👤 Patient: {prescription['patient_name']}")
print(f"🏥 Pharmacy: {prescription['pharmacy_name']}")

Batch Processing

# Process multiple images at once
results = ocr.process_images([
    "bottle_front.jpg",
    "bottle_back.jpg", 
    "label_close_up.png"
])

for i, result in enumerate(results['images']):
    if result['status'] == 'success':
        prescription = result['prescription']
        print(f"Image {i+1}: {prescription['medication_name']}")

🔐 License System

BottleOCR uses a secure validation system enabling complete local processing:

1. Initial Validation: Your API key validates with our server (one-time only)
2. Encoded Key Delivery: Server provides encrypted OpenAI API key
3. Local Processing: All subsequent operations run offline on your machine
4. Smart Caching: No repeated server communication required

# First run: Server validation + local caching
ocr = BottleOCR(api_key="your-key")  # ✅ Online validation

# All future runs: Instant startup from cache  
ocr = BottleOCR(api_key="your-key")  # ✅ Offline, instant
results = ocr.process_images(images)  # ✅ 100% local processing
