Custom OCR Server

Mekuru can send manga OCR requests to a compatible self-hosted server for remote manga OCR.

Pro Requirement

The Custom OCR Server feature is unlocked by the one-time Pro upgrade.

Server Repository

The reference server is public on GitHub:

github.com/mostrowski123/mekuru-ocr

Authentication Contract

Custom OCR servers use a shared AUTH_API_KEY.

• Configure the same shared secret on the server and in Mekuru.
• Mekuru sends the key as Authorization: Bearer <key>.
• The custom key is stored locally on-device.

Configuring the App

1. Open Settings.
2. Open Custom OCR Server.
3. Enter the server URL.
4. Enter the matching shared key.
5. Save the settings.

Compatibility

Your custom server must implement the same OCR API contract expected by Mekuru. The reference repository above provides the intended behavior and request format.
