No, that would be "Running OCR locally..."
'Serverless' has become a term of art: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serverless_computing

Running it locally would typically be called “client(-)side”.
But this caught me for a bit as well. :-)

Serverless means spinning compute resources up on demand in the cloud vs. running a server permanently.
