mmocr

OpenMMLab Text Detection, Recognition and Understanding Toolbox

Project mention: Show HN: BetterOCR combines and corrects multiple OCR engines with an LLM | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-28

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

https://github.com/mindee/doctr/issues/1049
I am looking for something this polished and reliable for handwriting, does anyone have any pointers? I want to integrate it in a workflow with my eink tablet I take notes on. A few years ago, I tried various models, but they performed poorly (around 80% accuracy) on my handwriting, which I can read almost 90% of the time.
