Productive and Safe Rust Binding for OCR
- anaoum 7y agoWhile Tesseract has had some major improvements over the last few years, I still find that it performs much worse than the (paid) computer vision APIs offered by Google, Azure and AWS. Does anyone have recommendations for other open source OCR engines?
- sansnomme 7y agoThe short answer: nope. It's a bit like speech recognition and synthesis. The open source stuff never matches up to commercial grades services by AWS and Google.
- algaeontoast 7y agoUnrelated, but I recently had to archive some docs and photos and had to start looking for a solid scanner client / OCR software. Prizmo Pro for Mac is incredible, and was one of the only OCR apps I could find that utilized a local RNN. It’s results are nearly perfect and fast, 3-4x as accurate as adobe acrobat and easily 6-7x the speed. Even as a dev it blows me away things like OCR running locally on a MacBook has come this far.
