Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Leveraging GPT-4 for PDF Data Extraction: A Comprehensive Guide
PyTesseract Module [ Github ] EasyOCR Module [ Github ] PaddlePaddle OCR [ Github ]

What is the best repo for hand written text recognition?
My default recommendation for OCR is https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR but most of the examples there are not handwritten - so I'm not sure how well it'll handle it this time.
-
Ask HN: Best way to perform complex OCR task in 2023?
Other than EasyOCR and Tesseract, PaddleOCR (https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR) is probably the most well known open-source OCR solution.
What are you planning to do with the text after detecting / recognizing it? How fast does the detection / recognition need to be in order to be useful?

Show HN: BetterOCR combines and corrects multiple OCR engines with an LLM
Yup! But I'm still exploring options. (any recommendations would be welcomed!) Here are some candidates I'm considering:
- https://github.com/mindee/doctr
- https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmocr
- https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR (honestly I don't know Mandarin so I'm a bit stuck)
- https://github.com/clovaai/donut - While it's primarily an "OCR-free document understanding transformer," I think it's worth experimenting with. Think I can sort this out by letting the LLM reason through it multiple times (although this will impact performance)
- yesterday got a suggestion to consider https://github.com/kakaobrain/pororo - I don't think development is still active but the results are pretty great on Korean text

How would you go about driving contextual data from images?
For images with text, if you want to do visual qa, document classification, table/key information extraction, checkout https://huggingface.co/blog/document-ai https://github.com/philschmid/document-ai-transformers https://github.com/google-research/pix2struct https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/blob/release/2.6/ppstructure/README.md

OCR at Edge on Cloudflare Constellation
EasyOCR is a popular project if you are in an environment where you can use run Python and PyTorch (https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR). Other open source projects of note are PaddleOCR (https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR) and docTR (https://github.com/mindee/doctr).

Seeking Advice for Improving OCR Accuracy in a Code Snippet Reader Project
I think you can train tesseract with custom data if you have enough, or you can use deep learning models like https://pyimagesearch.com/2020/08/17/ocr-with-keras-tensorflow-and-deep-learning or https://www.google.com/amp/s/nanonets.com/blog/attention-ocr-for-text-recogntion/amp/ or try other existing tools like paddle-ocr https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR

How do you parse tables in PDF with langchain? Especially, the context which is few lines above and below the table.

Donut: OCR-Free Document Understanding Transformer
When I was evaluating options a few months ago I found https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR to be a very strong contender for my use case (reading product labels), but you'll definitely want to put together some representative docs/images and test a bunch of solutions to see what works for you.

Recommendations for scanning to PDF app on grapheneOS
Needed to scan some receipts and found OpenScan. Does what it says on the tin, no bloat, no account needed, easy and quick to use, can save scans as an image file or as a PDF. No OCR, though. https://github.com/Ethereal-Developers-Inc/OpenScan

It's foolish to think open source isn't possible on Android.
CamScanner, Office Lens: OpenScan will get you covered. Don't use the 155 MB spyware CamScanner.
