MMOCR is an open-source Python toolbox developed by OpenMMLab for detecting, recognizing, and spotting text in images. It enables developers and researchers to build OCR pipelines for documents, natural scenes, and multilingual text, providing modular and extensible solutions for text detection and recognition.

Features of MMOCR:

• Supports a wide range of text detection and recognition models (e.g., DBNet, CRNN, SAR, PSENet).
• Provides end-to-end text spotting pipelines combining detection and recognition.
• Works with Python and PyTorch, supporting both CPU and GPU environments.
• Includes pre-trained models and benchmark datasets for testing OCR performance.
• Modular, extensible, and widely used in AI research, document analytics, and automation tasks.

To check the installed version of MMOCR in your environment:

$ sudo su
$ sudo apt update
$ source /opt/mmocr-env/bin/activate
$ pip show mmocr

Disclaimer: MMOCR is developed and maintained by OpenMMLab. It provides general-purpose text detection and recognition tools, but accuracy depends on proper application and dataset-specific considerations. Always refer to official documentation or the Python package repository for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
