A PyTorch-based OCR toolkit that ports PaddleOCR models to PyTorch, supporting common text detection and recognition algorithms like the PP-OCR series. It includes training, evaluation, inference, and model export/prediction workflows with verified numerical alignment against the original PaddleOCR weights.

Use cases

• run OCR on images with pytorch instead of paddlepaddle
• detect and recognize text in photos
• convert PaddleOCR models to PyTorch
• train a custom text recognition model
• extract text from scanned documents
• deploy PP-OCRv4 models in a PyTorch pipeline

When to choose

• you need PaddleOCR-quality OCR but your stack is PyTorch
• you want to fine-tune or retrain OCR models in PyTorch
• you need verified model parity with PaddleOCR weights

When to avoid

• you just want a ready-made OCR CLI with no training (use PaddleOCR or Tesseract)
• you need a license-cleared dependency (this repo has no license)
• you need models not yet in the verified alignment list
