## What it is
A PyTorch port of PaddleOCR that lets you run PaddleOCR-trained models (detection, recognition, and document structure parsing) without the PaddlePaddle framework. It includes converted models for text detection (DB, DB++, FCENET), recognition (CRNN, SVTR, PP-OCRv2 through v6), plus PP-StructureV3 document parsing with layout detection, table recognition, and formula recognition.

## Use cases
- run PaddleOCR models in PyTorch
- extract text from images with OCR
- convert PaddlePaddle models to PyTorch
- parse document structure from PDFs and images
- recognize tables and formulas in documents
- multilingual text recognition in 50 languages
- detect and read seal/stamp text in documents

## When to choose
- you want PaddleOCR accuracy but your stack is PyTorch-only
- you need to avoid installing PaddlePaddle
- you need document structure parsing (layout, tables, formulas) in PyTorch
- you need multilingual OCR with lightweight models

## When to avoid
- you are fine using the official PaddleOCR with PaddlePaddle
- you need training/fine-tuning rather than inference
- you need guaranteed parity with upstream PaddleOCR releases
