+Follow Step 1 from Option 1 above.
+
+#### Step 2: Clone Space Repository
+
+```bash
+# Install Git LFS (if not already installed)
+git lfs install
+
+# Clone your space
+git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR-USERNAME/handyhome-ocr-api
+cd handyhome-ocr-api
+```
+
+#### Step 3: Copy Files
+
+```bash
+# Copy all files from huggingface-ocr folder
+cp -r ../huggingface-ocr/* .
+```
+
+#### Step 4: Commit and Push
+
+```bash
+# Add all files
+git add .
+
+# Commit
+git commit -m "Initial deployment of HandyHome OCR API"
+
+# Push to Hugging Face
+git push
+```
+
+#### Step 5: Monitor Build

+Go to your Space URL to watch the build progress.
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Space Settings
+
+In your Space settings, you can configure:
+
+1. **Hardware**:
+   - **CPU basic** (free): 2 vCPU, 16GB RAM - Suitable for testing
+   - **CPU upgrade** (paid): Better performance
+   - **GPU** (paid): Faster OCR processing
+
+2. **Sleep time**:
+   - Free tier: Sleeps after 48 hours of inactivity
+   - Paid tier: Can disable sleep
+
+3. **Secrets** (if needed):
+   - Add environment variables in Settings → Repository secrets
+
+### Custom Domain (Optional)
+
+For production, you can set up a custom domain in Space settings.
+
+## Testing Your Deployment
+
+### Test Health Endpoint
+
+```bash
+curl https://YOUR-USERNAME-handyhome-ocr-api.hf.space/health
+```
+
+### Test OCR Extraction
+
+```bash
+# Test National ID extraction
+curl -X POST https://YOUR-USERNAME-handyhome-ocr-api.hf.space/api/extract-national-id \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"document_url": "YOUR_IMAGE_URL"}'
+```
+
+### Test in Python
+
+```python
+import requests
+
+base_url = "https://YOUR-USERNAME-handyhome-ocr-api.hf.space"
+
+# Test health
+response = requests.get(f"{base_url}/health")
+print(response.json())
+
+# Test extraction
+response = requests.post(
+    f"{base_url}/api/extract-national-id",
+    json={"document_url": "YOUR_IMAGE_URL"}
+)
+print(response.json())
+```
+
+## Integration with Your Main App
+
+Update your main Flask app (`handyhome-web-scripts/app.py`) to use the Hugging Face Space:
+
+```python
+import requests
+
+HUGGINGFACE_OCR_API = "https://YOUR-USERNAME-handyhome-ocr-api.hf.space"
+
+@app.route('/extract-document', methods=['POST'])
+def extract_document():
+    data = request.json
+    image_url = data.get('image_url')
+    document_type = data.get('document_type')
+    
+    # Map document types to HF Space endpoints
+    endpoint_mapping = {
+        'National ID': '/api/extract-national-id',
+        "Driver's License": '/api/extract-drivers-license',
+        'PRC ID': '/api/extract-prc',
+        'UMID': '/api/extract-umid',
+        'SSS ID': '/api/extract-sss',
+        'Passport': '/api/extract-passport',
+        'Postal ID': '/api/extract-postal',
+        'PHIC': '/api/extract-phic',
+        'NBI Clearance': '/api/extract-nbi',
+        'Police Clearance': '/api/extract-police-clearance',
+        'TESDA': '/api/extract-tesda'
+    }
+    
+    endpoint = endpoint_mapping.get(document_type)
+    if not endpoint:
+        return jsonify({'error': 'Unsupported document type'}), 400
+    
+    # Call Hugging Face Space API
+    try:
+        response = requests.post(
+            f"{HUGGINGFACE_OCR_API}{endpoint}",
+            json={'document_url': image_url},
+            timeout=300
+        )
+        return jsonify(response.json())
+    except Exception as e:
+        return jsonify({'error': str(e)}), 500
+```
+
+## Monitoring and Maintenance
+
+### Check Space Status
+
+1. Go to your Space URL
+2. Click **Settings** → **Usage**
+3. Monitor:
+   - Request count
+   - Error rate
+   - Response times
+   - Memory usage
+
+### View Logs
+
+1. In your Space, click **App** tab
+2. Scroll down to see real-time logs
+3. Useful for debugging errors
+
+### Update Deployment
+
+To update your deployment:
+
+**Web UI Method:**
+1. Click **Files** tab
+2. Click on file to edit
+3. Make changes
+4. Click **Commit changes**
+
+**Git Method:**
+```bash
+cd handyhome-ocr-api
+# Make changes to files
+git add .
+git commit -m "Update description"
+git push
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Fails
+
+**Error: Out of memory**
+- Solution: Reduce workers in Dockerfile or upgrade hardware
+
+**Error: Timeout during build**
+- Solution: This is normal for first build. Wait or restart build.
+
+**Error: Missing dependencies**
+- Solution: Check requirements.txt and Dockerfile
+
+### Runtime Errors
+
+**Error: Script not found**
+- Solution: Ensure all `extract_*.py` files are uploaded
+
+**Error: PaddleOCR model download fails**
+- Solution: Models download on first use. Check internet connectivity.
+
+**Error: 503 Service Unavailable**
+- Solution: Space is sleeping. Wake it up by accessing the URL.
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+**Slow response times**
+- Upgrade to better hardware tier
+- Increase Gunicorn workers (may need more RAM)
+- Consider caching frequently accessed documents
+
+**Out of memory errors**
+- Reduce Gunicorn workers in Dockerfile
+- Upgrade to higher memory tier
+- Process smaller images
+
+## Cost Considerations
+
+### Free Tier
+- CPU basic hardware
+- 48-hour sleep timeout
+- Suitable for testing and low-traffic use
+
+### Paid Tiers
+- **CPU upgrade**: $0.03/hour (~$22/month)
+- **GPU T4**: $0.60/hour (~$432/month)
+- No sleep timeout
+- Better performance
+
+### Optimization Tips
+- Use CPU for cost-effective deployment
+- Enable sleep timeout for development
+- Only upgrade if you need 24/7 availability or high performance
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Use Private Spaces** for sensitive data
+2. **Add authentication** if needed (custom middleware)
+3. **Rate limiting** - Add to prevent abuse
+4. **HTTPS only** - Hugging Face provides this by default
+5. **Input validation** - Already implemented in scripts
+6. **Secrets management** - Use HF Space secrets for API keys

+
+## Next Steps
+
+After successful deployment:
+
+1. ✅ Update your main app to use the HF Space API
+2. ✅ Test all document types thoroughly
+3. ✅ Set up monitoring and alerts
+4. ✅ Document the API endpoints for your team

+curl https://YOUR-USERNAME-handyhome-ocr-api.hf.space/health
+
+# Test extraction
+curl -X POST https://YOUR-USERNAME-handyhome-ocr-api.hf.space/api/extract-national-id \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"document_url": "YOUR_IMAGE_URL"}'
+```
+
+## 📚 Available Endpoints
+
+### Philippine IDs
+- `/api/extract-national-id` - National ID
+- `/api/extract-drivers-license` - Driver's License
+- `/api/extract-prc` - PRC ID
+- `/api/extract-umid` - UMID
+- `/api/extract-sss` - SSS ID
+- `/api/extract-passport` - Passport
+- `/api/extract-postal` - Postal ID
+- `/api/extract-phic` - PhilHealth ID
+
+### Clearances

+
+## 🔧 Integration Example
+
+```python
+import requests
+
+# Your Hugging Face Space URL
+API_BASE = "https://YOUR-USERNAME-handyhome-ocr-api.hf.space"
+
+def extract_national_id(image_url):
+    response = requests.post(
+        f"{API_BASE}/api/extract-national-id",
+        json={"document_url": image_url},
+        timeout=300
+    )
+    return response.json()
+
+# Use it
+result = extract_national_id("https://example.com/id.jpg")
+print(result)
+```
+
+## 💡 Tips
+
+- **First request is slow**: PaddleOCR loads models on first use (~30 seconds)
+- **Image quality matters**: Use clear, well-lit photos
+- **Timeout**: Set timeout to 5 minutes for first request
+- **Free tier**: Space sleeps after 48 hours of inactivity
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+**Build fails?**
+- Wait and retry - first build can timeout
+- Check build logs for specific errors
+
+**503 Error?**
+- Space is sleeping - just visit the URL to wake it
+
+**Slow responses?**
+- Normal for first request (loading models)
+- Subsequent requests are faster (2-5 seconds)

+Philippine National ID Information Extraction Script
+
+Purpose:
+    Extracts structured information from Philippine National ID card images using OCR.
+    This script is designed to work as a microservice for document verification systems.
+
+Why this script exists:
+    - Manual verification of National IDs is time-consuming and error-prone
+    - Need standardized data extraction from bilingual (English/Filipino) ID cards
+    - Required for automated document verification workflows
+    - Supports API integration for web applications
+
+Key Features:
+    - Extracts 19-digit National ID number (format: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX)
+    - Handles bilingual labels (English/Filipino)
+    - Processes name composition from separate fields
+    - Formats dates consistently (ISO format: YYYY-MM-DD)
+    - Preserves EXIF metadata when possible
+
+Dependencies:
+    - PaddleOCR: High-accuracy OCR engine (https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR)
+    - Pillow (PIL): Image processing (https://pillow.readthedocs.io/)
+    - requests: HTTP library for image downloads (https://docs.python-requests.org/)
+
+Usage:
+    python extract_national_id.py "https://example.com/national_id.jpg"
+
+Output:
+    JSON with extracted information: id_number, full_name, birth_date

+Philippine Passport Information Extraction Script
+
+Purpose:
+    Extracts structured information from Philippine passport images using OCR.
+    Handles complex passport layouts with multiple information fields.
+
+Why this script exists:
+    - Passports have complex layouts with multiple information fields
+    - Need to extract international-standard passport information
+    - Handles bilingual labels (English/Filipino)
+    - Required for passport verification workflows
+
+Key Features:
+    - Extracts passport number (format: X0000000A)
+    - Handles complex name structures (surname, given names, middle name)
+    - Processes multiple date fields (birth, issue, expiration)
+    - Extracts nationality and place of birth
+    - Handles OCR digit correction
+
+Dependencies:
+    - PaddleOCR: High-accuracy OCR engine (https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR)
+    - Pillow (PIL): Image processing (https://pillow.readthedocs.io/)
+    - requests: HTTP library (https://docs.python-requests.org/)
+
+Usage:
+    python extract_passport.py "https://example.com/passport.jpg"
+
+Output:
+    JSON with extracted information: passport_number, full_name, birth_date, valid_until, etc.

+Philippine PRC (Professional Regulation Commission) License Information Extraction Script
+
+Purpose:
+    Extracts structured information from PRC license images using OCR.
+    Handles various PRC license formats including UMID-style cards.
+
+Why this script exists:
+    - PRC licenses have complex layouts with multiple information fields
+    - Need to extract profession-specific information
+    - Handles both traditional PRC licenses and UMID-style PRC cards
+    - Required for professional verification workflows
+
+Key Features:
+    - Extracts CRN (Common Reference Number) - 12-digit format
+    - Processes registration numbers and dates
+    - Extracts profession information
+    - Handles GSIS/SSS number extraction
+    - Supports validity date tracking
+
+Dependencies:
+    - PaddleOCR: High-accuracy OCR engine (https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR)
+    - Pillow (PIL): Image processing (https://pillow.readthedocs.io/)
+    - requests: HTTP library (https://docs.python-requests.org/)
+
+Usage:
+    python extract_prc.py "https://example.com/prc_license.jpg"
+
+Output:
+    JSON with extracted information: crn, registration_number, profession, valid_until, etc.
