Search Results for "processing"

OCRmyPDF adds an optical character recognition (OCR) text layer to scanned PDF files, allowing them to be searched. PDF is the best format for storing and exchanging scanned documents. Unfortunately, PDFs can be difficult to modify. OCRmyPDF makes it easy to apply image processing and OCR (recognized, searchable text) to existing PDFs.

...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.

...It includes a highly efficient offline OCR engine with built-in multilingual recognition libraries, so users can extract text across multiple languages with high accuracy directly on their machines. The software supports flexible usage patterns including screenshot capture OCR, batch processing of large sets of images or documents, PDF parsing, QR code detection, and layout-aware paragraph output. Users can interact with Umi-OCR through a graphical interface, command-line options, or HTTP interfaces, making it adaptable to both casual desktop usage and programmatic automation. Because the project is open source, developers can inspect, modify, and extend its capabilities, and plugins allow for different recognition engines or enhanced features.

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...

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...

OpenOCR will be a commercial quality ocr engine with tools for pre- and post-processing of images and resulting text.
