A curated awesome-list of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) resources, linking to OCR engines, CLI and GUI tools, libraries by language, file formats, datasets, and academic literature. It is a reference catalog rather than software itself.
Use cases
- find an open source OCR engine
- extract text from scanned pdfs
- compare OCR tools for handwriting recognition
- find OCR libraries for python or rust
- find OCR datasets and ground truth
- learn about OCR file formats like hOCR and ALTO XML
When to choose
- you want a broad overview of the OCR ecosystem before picking a tool
- you need links to engines, datasets, and papers in one place
When to avoid
- you need a working OCR engine itself rather than a list of links
- you need up-to-date coverage of recent deep-learning OCR models, as the list's literature section ends around 2018
