Surya is a 650M parameter OCR toolkit from Datalab providing state-of-the-art text recognition, layout analysis, reading order detection, and table recognition in 90+ languages. It ships as a Python library with GPU acceleration and is part of Datalab's document intelligence model suite.

Use cases

• extract text from scanned pdfs
• ocr documents in multiple languages
• detect layout regions and reading order in documents
• recognize tables from images
• convert scanned documents to markdown
• run ocr on gpu at high throughput

When to choose

• you need multilingual ocr across 90+ languages
• you need layout analysis and table recognition alongside text extraction
• you want a self-hosted, Apache-2.0 licensed ocr pipeline with gpu speed
• you are building document processing or rag ingestion pipelines

When to avoid

• you only need simple English-only ocr with a lightweight dependency
• you have no gpu and need very fast batch processing
• you need a fully managed api without running models yourself
• your models must be under a permissive license without usage restrictions (weights use OpenRAIL-M)
