## What it is
A curated awesome-list of deep learning papers and resources for scene text detection and recognition (OCR). It organizes papers by publication date with benchmark scores, leader-board links, and code/model availability.

## Use cases
- find papers on scene text detection with deep learning
- research OCR methods and their benchmark scores
- find official code implementations for text recognition models
- compare text detection models on ICDAR benchmarks
- get started learning about deep learning based OCR

## When to choose
- you need a survey-style starting point for OCR research
- you want papers with linked code and pretrained models
- you need benchmark F1 scores on ICDAR datasets

## When to avoid
- you need a ready-to-use OCR library or tool
- you need up-to-date papers after 2021
- you want tutorials rather than a paper index

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ocr, computer-vision, deep-learning
- domain: computer-vision, image-processing, awesome-lists, artificial-intelligence
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, text-detection, text-recognition, scene-text, papers, research-papers
