DeepSeek-OCR
Contexts Optical Compression
DeepSeek-OCR is an open-source optical character recognition solution built as part of the broader DeepSeek AI vision-language ecosystem. It is designed to extract text from images, PDFs, and scanned documents, and integrates with multimodal capabilities that understand layout, context, and visual elements beyond raw character recognition. The system treats OCR not simply as “read the text” but as “understand what the text is doing in the image”—for example distinguishing captions from body text, interpreting tables, or recognizing handwritten versus printed words. It supports local deployment, enabling organizations concerned about privacy or latency to run the pipeline on-premises rather than send sensitive documents to third-party cloud services. The codebase is written in Python with a focus on modularity: you can swap preprocessing, recognition, and post-processing components as needed for custom workflows. -

DocTR
Library for OCR-related tasks powered by Deep Learning
DocTR provides an easy and powerful way to extract valuable information from your documents. Seemlessly process documents for Natural Language Understanding tasks: we provide OCR predictors to parse textual information (localize and identify each word) from your documents. Robust 2-stage (detection + recognition) OCR predictors with pretrained parameters. User-friendly, 3 lines of code to load a document and extract text with a predictor. State-of-the-art performances on public document datasets, comparable with GoogleVision/AWS Textract. Easy integration (available templates for browser demo & API deployment). End-to-End OCR is achieved in docTR using a two-stage approach: text detection (localizing words), then text recognition (identify all characters in the word). As such, you can select the architecture used for text detection, and the one for text recognition from the list of available implementations. -

DeepSeek-OCR 2
Visual Causal Flow
DeepSeek-OCR-2 is the second-generation optical character recognition system developed to improve document understanding by introducing a “visual causal flow” mechanism, enabling the encoder to reorder visual tokens in a way that better reflects semantic structure rather than strict raster scan order. It is designed to handle complex layouts and noisy documents by giving the model causal reasoning capabilities that mimic human visual scanning behavior, enhancing OCR performance on documents with rich spatial structure. The repository provides model code and inference scripts that let researchers and developers run and benchmark the system on both images and PDFs, with support for batch evaluation and optimized pipelines leveraging vLLM and transformers. -

GLM-OCR
Accurate × Fast × Comprehensive
GLM-OCR is an open-source multimodal optical character recognition (OCR) model built on a GLM-V encoder–decoder foundation that brings robust, accurate document understanding to complex real-world layouts and modalities. Designed to handle text recognition, table parsing, formula extraction, and general information retrieval from documents containing mixed content, GLM-OCR excels across major benchmarks while remaining highly efficient with a relatively compact parameter size (~0.9B), enabling deployment in high-concurrency services and edge environments. The model’s multimodal capabilities allow it to reason across image and text content holistically, capturing structured and unstructured information from pages that include dense tables, seals, code snippets, and varied document graphics. GLM-OCR integrates a comprehensive SDK and inference toolchain that makes it easy for developers to install, invoke, and embed into production pipelines with simple commands or APIs. -

HunyuanOCR
OCR expert VLM powered by Hunyuan's native multimodal architecture
HunyuanOCR is an open-source, end-to-end OCR (optical character recognition) Vision-Language Model (VLM) developed by Tencent‑Hunyuan. It’s designed to unify the entire OCR pipeline, detection, recognition, layout parsing, information extraction, translation, and even subtitle or structured output generation, into a single model inference instead of a cascade of separate tools. Despite being fairly lightweight (about 1 billion parameters), it delivers state-of-the-art performance across a wide variety of OCR tasks, outperforming many traditional OCR systems and even other multimodal models on benchmark suites. HunyuanOCR handles complex documents: multi-column layouts, tables, mathematical formulas, mixed languages, handwritten or stylized fonts, receipts, tickets, and even video-frame subtitles. The project provides code, pretrained weights, and inference instructions, making it feasible to deploy locally or on a server, and to integrate with applications. -

PandaOCR
Multifunctional OCR Image and Text Recognition
At present, the newly refactored PandaOCR.Pro professional version has been released. It is faster and more stable, with richer interfaces and easier operation. It is recommended for you to use it! The normal version will continue to be maintained, and all interfaces will be retained but no new functions will be added. The reason why the version number of the professional version starts from 5.x is that the normal version will be updated in the future, so a period of version number is reserved. You can continue to use the regular version for free as before, without worrying about deactivating the regular version after the launch of the professional version. If you have higher needs, you can try the professional version. You can also use the Baidu API interface without activation. Support shortcut keys and screen corner trigger screenshot recognition function, convenient and fast. -

Nougat
Implementation of Nougat Neural Optical Understanding
Nougat is a multi-modal generative modeling framework that bridges vision and text modalities with structured generation control (e.g. layout, scene composition) rather than treating images as flat contexts. It combines object-centric modules with transformer-based reasoning to propose, refine, and render scenes in a generative pipeline. The architecture allows you to specify or prompt a layout (which objects should be where) and then the model fills in appearance, context, lighting, and relations coherently. The design supports interactive editing: you could adjust object positions or types and have the model adapt generation accordingly. Because it integrates structured layout reasoning, Nougat tends to produce more compositional and controllable results than purely unconstrained generative models. -

qiji-font
Typeface from Ming Dynasty woodblock printed books
Typeface from Ming Dynasty woodblock printed books. A Ming typeface. Extracted from Ming Dynasty woodblock printed books (凌閔刻本). Using semi-automatic computer vision and OCR. Open-source. A work in progress. Named in honor of 閔齊伋, a 16th-century printer. Intended to be used with Kenyan-lang, the Classical Chinese programming language. Download high-resolution PDFs and split pages into images. Manually lay a grid on top of each page to generate bounding boxes for characters (potentially replaceable by an automatic corner-detection algorithm). Generate a low-poly mask for each character on the grid, and save the thumbnails (using OpenCV). First, red channel is subtracted from the grayscale, in order to clean the annotations printed in red ink. Next, the image is thresholded and fed into the contour-tracing algorithm. A metric is then used to discard shapes that are unlikely to be part of the character in interest.
