Open source OCR for the security of the digital world

 

简体中文 | English

💖 Introducing the foremost multi-platform, multi-lingual OCR tool that boasts unparalleled speed, expansive support, and complete openness. This exceptional software is entirely free and renowned for facilitating swift offline deployments. Core to its efficiency is the ONNXRuntime inference engine, offering 4 to 5 times the speed of PaddlePaddle's engine while ensuring no memory leaks.

🦜Supported Languages: It inherently supports Chinese and English, with self-service conversion required for additional languages. Please referhere for specific language support details.

🔎Rationale: Acknowledging the limitations inPaddleOCR's architecture, we embarked on a mission to simplify OCR inference across diverse platforms. This endeavor culminated in converting PaddleOCR's model to the versatile ONNX format and seamlessly integrating it into Python, C++, Java, and C# environments.

🎓Etymology: Derived from its essence, RapidOCR embodies lightness, velocity, affordability, and intelligence. Rooted in deep learning, this OCR technology underscores AI's prowess and emphasizes compact models, prioritizing swiftness without compromising efficacy.

😉Usage Scenarios:

• Instant Deployment: If the pre-existing models within our repository suffice, simply leverage RapidOCR for swift deployment.
• Customization: In case of specific requirements, refine PaddleOCR with your data and proceed with RapidOCR deployment, ensuring tailored results.

If our repository proves beneficial to your endeavors, kindly consider leaving a star ⭐ on GitHub to show your appreciation. It means the world to us!
