Papermerge
Open Source Document Management System for Digital Archives
Papermerge is an open source document management system (DMS) primarily designed for archiving and retrieving your digital documents. Instead of having piles of paper documents all over your desk, office or drawers - you can quickly scan them and configure your scanner to directly upload to Papermerge DMS. Store, organize and index scanned documents in PDF, JPEG and TIFF formats. Instantly find relevant information using full text, tags and metadata-based search. Papermerge is free and open-source software which means that transparency is the core value of our software development. Source code can be reviewed and improved by anyone from anywhere. Papermerge supports multiple users. Each user can be assigned different permissions to perform only a specific kind of action e.g. view only documents from a specific folder. OCR technology is vital part of Papermerge. It extracts text information from scanned documents, PDF, JPEG, TIFF files. -

Unlimited OCR Works
Welcome the Era of One-shot Long-horizon Parsing
Unlimited-OCR is an OCR and document parsing model project focused on one-shot long-horizon parsing. It is designed to push OCR beyond short, isolated image recognition and into longer document understanding workflows. The project supports single-image parsing as well as multi-page and PDF-style parsing by converting pages into images. It provides inference paths for Hugging Face Transformers, vLLM, and SGLang, which gives users several deployment options. The repository also includes example code for batch inference over image folders or PDF inputs. Overall, it is useful for researchers and developers who need advanced OCR, long-document parsing, and model-based extraction from complex visual documents. -

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. -

Paperless-ng
A supercharged version of paperless, scan, index and archive docs
Paperless is a simple Django application running in two parts, a Consumer (the thing that does the indexing) and a Web server (the part that lets you search & download already-indexed documents). Paper is a nightmare. Environmental issues aside, there’s no excuse for it in the 21st century. It takes up space, collects dust, doesn’t support any form of a search feature, indexing is tedious, it’s heavy and prone to damage & loss. I wrote this to make “going paperless” easier. I do not have to worry about finding stuff again. I feed documents right from the post box into the scanner and then shred them. Perhaps you might find it useful too. Paperless-ng is a fork of the original paperless project. It changes many things both on the surface and under the hood. Paperless-ng was created because I feel that these changes are too big to be pushed into the main repository right away. -

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. -

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. -

Scribe.js
JavaScript OCR and text extraction for images and PDFs
Scribe.js is a JavaScript library that provides Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and text extraction capabilities for both images and PDF documents, aimed at developers who want to build OCR features directly into their applications. The library can take image files (such as PNG or JPEG) and recognize the text they contain, and it can also extract text from PDF files that either already contain text or are image-based scans, using modern web standards and WebAssembly under the hood. In addition to simple text extraction, Scribe.js supports writing or injecting a high-quality invisible text layer back into PDFs, effectively making them searchable and improving usability for indexing or accessibility. It is written in modern ECMAScript Modules (ESM), so it can be imported in both browser and Node.js environments without a build step, though browser usage requires same-origin hosting of the files. -

dots.ocr
Multilingual Document Layout Parsing in a Single Vision-Language Model
dots.ocr is a cutting-edge multilingual document parsing system built on a unified vision-language model that combines layout detection, text recognition, and structural understanding into a single architecture. Unlike traditional OCR pipelines that rely on multiple specialized components, dots.ocr integrates these processes end-to-end, reducing error propagation and improving consistency across tasks. The model is designed to recognize virtually any human script, making it highly effective for global and low-resource language scenarios. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on document parsing benchmarks while maintaining a relatively compact model size, demonstrating efficiency without sacrificing accuracy. Beyond standard OCR tasks, it extends its capabilities to parse complex visual elements such as charts, diagrams, and web interfaces, converting them into structured outputs like SVG code. -
