AddOn or External App to use OCR text recognition

I am going to make an addon for myself on the dispatch board which will open a photo (which is taken as screenshot from taskforce) and this photo has the job request on it.

I am wanting to scan this with ocr and using the text and manipulated text I will search for existing client and if not exist I will add it and a job etc.

The part I am unsure of is whether I can perform ocr recognition from within servicem8 or will I have to make it an external API connection app so I can access easyocr or the like?
