EasyOCR
Ready-to-use OCR with 80+ supported languages
Ready-to-use OCR with 80+ supported languages and all popular writing scripts including Latin, Chinese, Arabic, Devanagari, Cyrillic and etc. EasyOCR is a python module for extracting text from image. It is a general OCR that can read both natural scene text and dense text in document. We are currently supporting 80+ languages and expanding. Second-generation models: multiple times smaller size, multiple times faster inference, additional characters and comparable accuracy to the first generation models. EasyOCR will choose the latest model by default but you can also specify which model to use. Model weights for the chosen language will be automatically downloaded or you can download them manually from the model hub. The idea is to be able to plug-in any state-of-the-art model into EasyOCR. There are a lot of geniuses trying to make better detection/recognition models, but we are not trying to be geniuses here. We just want to make their works quickly accessible to the public. -

State-of-the-art image-to-markdown OCR model
Nanonets-OCR-s is an advanced image-to-markdown OCR model that transforms documents into structured and semantically rich markdown. It goes beyond basic text extraction by intelligently recognizing content types and applying meaningful tags, making the output ideal for Large Language Models (LLMs) and automated workflows. The model expertly converts mathematical equations into LaTeX syntax, distinguishing between inline and display modes for accuracy. It also generates descriptive <img> tags for images like logos, charts, and graphs, enabling better interpretation by downstream systems. Signatures and watermarks are detected and isolated within dedicated tags to maintain document integrity, which is vital for legal and business uses. Form elements like checkboxes and radio buttons are converted into standardized Unicode symbols for consistent handling. Additionally, complex tables are extracted and formatted in both markdown and HTML to support versatile document processing. -

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. -
