A Python tool that generates synthetic text images with configurable visual effects for training deep learning OCR models like CRNN. It supports both Latin and non-Latin scripts, with strict mode to ensure fonts cover all corpus characters.

Use cases

• generate synthetic training data for an OCR model
• create text images with perspective and blur effects for CRNN training
• render Chinese text images with fonts that support all characters
• augment OCR datasets with varied text effects
• produce labeled text image datasets for deep learning

When to choose

• you need labeled synthetic text images to train an OCR recognizer
• you work with non-Latin scripts and need font coverage guarantees
• you want configurable effects like curves, borders, and blur on rendered text

When to avoid

• you need a pretrained OCR model rather than training data
• you require actively maintained software - the project points to a newer fork (oh-my-ocr/text_renderer)
• you need scene-text detection datasets rather than rendered text
