One good self-hosted OCR is PaddleOCR, https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR
Beats everything else, truly international and multi-lingual, including Chinese (as it is made in China)
- paul-tharun 2y agoIt is insanely fast compared alternatives and has really high accuracy even on new tasks without any training. Their PaddleLayout models are also miles ahead compared to LayoutParser or TableTransformers in both inference speed and output quality
- ComputerGuru 2y agoWhy is it “self-hosted” and not “library + desktop/cli app”? “Self-hosted” implies it need a full web stack and rdbms backend?
- rvnx 2y agoIt was just to show that you can run it locally, in opposition to "cloud APIs" referred in the thread, but you are right, the more correct term is local
- ComputerGuru 2y agoThanks. I had clicked the readme but I was on my phone and wasn’t able to translate it to English to see if it was a web app.
- jakderrida 2y agoI think that's Baidu. I remember https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/ https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/ from when Ernie 3.0 was released back when text encoder models weren't forgotten with the progress of decoder-only ones.
- jakderrida 2y agoHoly Crap! You were right about PaddleOCR. My personal benchmark for OCR tools is to submit several random pages from the first edition Moody's Manual for Railroads. https://imgur.com/r2RsJeH https://imgur.com/r2RsJeH The reason I use it is to test whether it's just analyzing letter-by-letter (even if they claim it does more) or if it's actually scanning the letter/word in its context. If it's letter-by-letter, I get hilariously awful results. Sure, it got things wrong. But it also figured out some things even I couldn't decipher.
