ocrs is a Rust library and CLI tool for extracting text from images, also known as OCR (Optical Character Recognition). The goal is to create a modern OCR engine that: - Works well on a wide variety of images (scanned documents, photos containing text, screenshots etc.) with zero or much less preprocessing effort compared to earlier engines like [Tesseract][tesseract]. This is achieved by using machine learning more extensively in the pipeline. - Is easy to compile and run across a variety of platforms, including WebAssembly - Is trained on open and liberally licensed datasets - Has a codebase that is easy to understand and modify Under the hood, the library uses neural network models trained in PyTorch, which are then exported to ONNX and executed using the RTen engine.
