PaddleOCR
Multilingual OCR and document-AI toolkit that turns PDFs and images into structured data.
What it does
Reads text from PDFs and images and turns documents into structured data: text detection and recognition across many languages, and document parsing into Markdown or JSON with layout coordinates. It is a Python package (3.8 to 3.12) that runs on CPU or GPU, with an online demo; the README aims it at developers building AI applications. The licence is Apache-2.0; the README states no caveats.
