PaddleOCR

Any experience with Paddle OCR? https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR Personally I‘ve used Tesseract before but the results were underwhelming, so I‘m curious how Paddle OCR performs in comparison.

What kind of accuracy have you reached with this pipeline of Tesseract+LLM? I imagine that there would be a hard limit as to what level the LLM could improve the OCR extract text from Tesseract, since its far from perfect itself. Haven't seen many people mention it, but have just been using the PaddleOCR library on it's own and has been very good for me. Often achieving better quality/accuracy than some of the best V-LLM's, and generally much better quality than other open-source OCR models I've tried like Tesseract for example. That being said, my use case is definitely focused primarily on digital text, so if you're working with handwritten text, take this with a grain of salt. https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/blob/main/README_e... https://huggingface.co/spaces/echo840/ocrbench-leaderboard

I tried https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR for my own use case (scanline images of parcel labels) and it beat Tesseract by an order of magnitude. (Tesseract managed to get 3 fields out of a damaged label, while PaddleOCR found 35, some of them barely readable even for a human taking time to decypher them)
