Yup, easy OCR is good.
My reasons for using Tesseract - easy OCR is larger, and it has a significant cold start.
It benchmarks better for many OCR tasks though, so I'm thinking of adding it as an alternative backend.
Where did you find benchmarks for OCR tools? There have been so many OCR engines coming lately, I would love to see benchmarks!
I google this for a while...
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.
I haven't, testing it out is on my todo list for sure
