RapidOCR provides the text detection and recognition models of PaddleOCR converted to ONNX, so they can be run without the PaddlePaddle framework. ONNX Runtime, OpenVINO, MNN, PaddlePaddle and PyTorch are supported as inference engines. Detection locates the text boxes in an image, recognition reads the text inside them. Models for Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean and further languages are fetched on demand.
