A PyTorch implementation of a CRNN (convolutional recurrent neural network) model for recognizing Chinese characters in images. It includes training scripts, configuration files, and pretrained checkpoints for Chinese text recognition.

Use cases

• recognize chinese text in images
• train an ocr model for chinese characters
• run crnn text recognition on a photo
• fine-tune a chinese character recognition model on my own dataset
• extract text from chinese screenshots

When to choose

• you need to recognize Chinese characters specifically
• you want a trainable PyTorch OCR model you can fine-tune on custom data
• you want a simple, well-known CRNN baseline for scene text recognition

When to avoid

• you need production-ready OCR with active maintenance and a license
• you need multi-language or Latin-script OCR out of the box
• you need a packaged CLI or API rather than research code
