Does OCR Support Offline Use?

Huawei Cloud OCR currently does not support offline use, as its core functionality relies on a network connection to Huawei Cloud. Since the service's APIs, compute resources, and recognition models are all deployed on Huawei Cloud's infrastructure—not on local devices or offline environments—you cannot initiate service calls or access recognition capabilities without an Internet connection, making text recognition unavailable when offline.

Whether using OCR via SDK or directly through API calls, the device must have public Internet access.
