...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.

Ocrad.js is a JavaScript port of the GNU Ocrad optical character recognition engine compiled with Emscripten. It brings text recognition directly into web applications without requiring a remote OCR service. Local processing can reduce network latency and support offline-capable applications. Possible uses include extracting text from images, browser-based note tools, image indexing, and experimental handwriting input. The repository includes the compiled library, source material, examples, a browser demo, and worker support. Its recognition engine is rule-based, so accuracy can vary substantially with character quality, spacing, weight, and input preparation.

WebDjVuTextEd allows to edit the text layer of OCR'ed DjVu documents in a web browser. You can modify the structure (paragraphs, lines, words...) create, delete, edit text nodes, modify their container box by mouse, and run a spellchecker. The program does not directly read the DjVu files, it requires exported XML text data and images. When using without a webserver, you can open and save local files, but cannot take advantages of auto-save and spell checking. Note that current SVN...

An image postprocessor for the DIY Book Scanner described on instructables.com and diybookscanner.org. Gets images ready for OCR or for PDF. Written in Java based on a partial port of the Leptonica image processing library.
