Practical Approaches to Key Information Extraction (Part 1)
This is where PaddleOCR comes in—it enhances the vision capabilities of the LLM by providing precise OCR text, helping the model focus on exactly what needs to be extracted.

OCR Solutions Uncovered: How to Choose the Best for Different Use Cases
Budget Constraints: For users with limited budgets, open-source options like Tesseract OCR or PaddleOCR provide good solutions that can be customized to meet specific business needs. Additionally, consider Klippa or API4AI OCR for affordable yet reliable OCR services that work out-of-the-box.

Ask HN: I have many PDFs – what is the best local way to leverage AI for search?
If you want to run locally you can look into this https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR
https://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2024/03/optimizing-receipt-pr...
But I suggest that you just skip that and use gpt-4o. They aren't actually going to steal your data.
Sort through it to find anything with a credit card number or anything ahead time.
Or you could look into InternVL..
Or a combination of PaddleOCR first and then use a strong LLM via API, like gpt-4o or llama3 70b via together.ai
If you truly must do it locally, then if you have two 3090s or 4090s it might work out. Otherwise it the LLMs may not be smart enough to give good results.
Leaving out the details of your hardware makes it impossible to give good advice about running locally. Other than, it's not really necessary.

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
