I'm interested in good OCR, preferably local, but I'm close to giving up and using Google Cloud Vision API --- It works well for text that's not prefectly align

I'm interested in good OCR, preferably local, but I'm close to giving up and using Google Cloud Vision API --- It works well for text that's not prefectly aligned and laid out - unlike e.g. Tesseract or any other local OCR I've used.
As far as I can tell, clarifai.com doesn't have OCR, and neither does anyone else except MS and G.
- megalodon 10y agoHey, I made this [1]. Based on a neural net trained with generated character sets with intentional distortions and/or several font variations. I would not recommend it for use in production, but maybe you're interested in looking at the code and customizing it to your liking. Could perhaps be combined with OpenCV.

- zo1 10y agoHave you had a look at the ABBYY offerings? They work very well with auto-skew detection + correction. But of course, it's a very pricey solution and wouldn't recommend it if you don't have the budget for that sort of thing.
