docTR alternatives
Models that cover what docTR does, closest first. All of them take the same request, so trying one is a one-word change.
Open-source document model from Baidu. Excellent on Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Small open-source OCR model from Z.ai with layout regions. MIT licensed.
Baidu's classic open-source text detection and recognition pipeline. Light enough to run on CPU.
Python OCR library with a simple API. Returns text lines with boxes and confidence.
PaddleOCR models packaged for ONNX Runtime and other engines. Easy to deploy without Paddle.
Specialist for math, science papers and handwritten formulas. Outputs LaTeX.
Dashed tags are things docTR does not support. Model IDs: paddle/paddleocr-vl, zai/glm-ocr, paddle/paddleocr, jaided/easyocr, rapidai/rapidocr, mathpix/convert.
