Problem Description

Currently, Open WebUI does not support dots.ocr, which is a tool for extracting text from images efficiently.

Desired Solution you'd like

there will be an option to use dots.ocr as an ocr instead the tika or docling options

Alternatives Considered

Docling and Tika are not as effective as Dots.OCR, particularly for languages other than English.

Additional Context
