- beagle3 2y agoI’m surprised everyone is using Tesseract. It was the only game in town 10 years ago, and it’s Ok on cleaned aligned data, but there are a few newer ones like EasyOCR [0] that can deal with much less organized text (albeit more slowly) [0] https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR
- harryf 2y agoEasyOCR looks like it's more focused on the mobile use case of extract text from photos. That's a little bit different from extracting text from scanned documents, where document structure is an important aspect, and Tesseract is the devil we know. In the commercial space ABBYY Finereader still dominates - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABBYY_FineReader https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABBYY_FineReader But perhaps I'm wrong...
- ianhawes 2y agoABBYY does indeed dominate, but Google Document AI is making inroads.
- racl101 2y agoCareful with the Ghostscript AGPL licensing if you plan to make a commercial product that uses it.
