Jul 3, 2020 · I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit: [r/datascienceproject] EasyOCR: Ready-to-use OCR with 40+ languages supported including Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai (r/MachineLearning)

Oct 8, 2023 · I instantiate EasyOCR and when it runs OCR on an image it is eating 3-4 GB of GPU memory per inference. If i feed it 1 image and run OCR twice, I get CUDA OOM errors. Is this normal? I am testing different OCR libs for my use case and so far, EasyOCR is the only one that uses a substantial amount of GPU memory.

Jun 29, 2022 · Try converting the image to grayscale? I see a lot of colour dithering across the font, and perhaps that's throwing the detection off? - a good model should be able to see past that, but I'm unfamiliar with EasyOCR.

Oct 5, 2023 · I can't talk about Japanese, but generally, you want to use Tesseract for 'nice clean text'. That means if you have some clean documents without much noise, go for Tesseract. If your task is more text-in-the-wild style, I would recommend easyOCR or PaddleOCR, where easyOCR is slightly more accurate in my experience. EDIT: Finetunning of easyOCR is quite easy :)

Jun 4, 2022 · I am on x64 windows 10 pro. My gpu driver is 516.01, I haven't tried compiling C programs with CUDA, if you have any examples I can try I would like to try them. This is what my program says when I run it: "CUDA not available - defaulting to CPU. Note: This module is much faster with a GPU."

Aug 29, 2023 · EasyOCR is a user-friendly Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tool that transforms text recognition into a seamless process. It's designed to make extracting text from images or scanned documents hassle-free. The software leverages AI algorithms to accurately identify and convert text content into editable formats.

Sep 21, 2021 · tesseract is more basic and quite intolerant of low quality images. EasyOCR is more complex (uses an AI if I'm not mistaken) but is far better with a lot of different image types, eg street signs, multiple languages, part of a graphic etc …

Sep 6, 2023 · I'm working on building a custom OCR model using EasyOCR for recognizing text within the game League Of Legends. I followed the tutorial available in the EasyOCR GitHub repository and used their custom training script.

OCR is a well studied problem and there are many commercial services and open source projects (eg. EasyOCR) that have improved upon this by going in a more Software 2.0 direction. Nevertheless Tesseract is still the de-facto open source library because it is portable, embeddable and usable from many languages. I think there is an opportunity to create something better …

Nov 21, 2023 · I am trying to speed up easyocr as much as possible for extraction of digits without using a faster gpu, currently I'm using easyocr with GPU with a small image, no localization just detection/extraction, I get the result in 0.11 seconds with almost perfect results, using reader= "en" and allowlist "0123456789.-" , is there any model for numbers only similar like tesseract …
