An end-to-end Chinese OCR system implemented with TensorFlow and Keras, combining CTPN for text detection with DenseNet + CTC for text recognition. It supports variable-length Chinese character detection and recognition, and includes training scripts and a synthetic dataset of ~3.64 million images.

Use cases

  • recognize chinese text in images
  • extract text from photos of chinese documents
  • detect and read chinese characters from screenshots
  • build an ocr pipeline for chinese pdfs or scanned pages
  • train a custom chinese text recognition model
  • run offline ocr on chinese signage images

When to choose

  • you need open-source Chinese OCR with trainable models
  • you want a TensorFlow/Keras-based OCR you can retrain on your own data
  • you need both text detection and recognition in one pipeline

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained software with recent updates
  • you need OCR for many languages beyond Chinese and English
  • you prefer a production-ready OCR service like PaddleOCR or Tesseract with broader support
