A Python library packaging the CRAFT text detector and a Keras CRNN text recognition model into a high-level OCR pipeline. It supports pretrained inference and training custom detection/recognition models with TensorFlow 2.

Use cases

• extract text from images in python
• detect and recognize text in photos
• run ocr locally without cloud apis
• train a custom text detection model
• find word bounding boxes in images
• compare ocr accuracy against cloud services

When to choose

• you want a self-hosted, pip-installable OCR pipeline with pretrained weights
• you need both text detection and recognition in one API
• you want to fine-tune or train custom OCR models in Keras/TensorFlow

When to avoid

• you need state-of-the-art accuracy on difficult text (newer models like PaddleOCR or cloud APIs may be better)
• you work in PyTorch rather than TensorFlow/Keras
• you need handwriting or non-Latin script support out of the box
