PaddleOCR Multilingual Document OCR and Structured Data Toolkit

PaddleOCR is a powerful, lightweight OCR toolkit developed by Baidu that converts documents and images into structured, AI-friendly data like JSON and Markdown. It supports 100+ languages with industry-leading accuracy, bridging the gap between images/PDFs and LLMs.

Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

• 
• Comprehensive upgrade of the PP-OCRv5 C++ local deployment solution, now supporting both Linux and Windows, with feature parity and identical accuracy to the Python implementation.
• The high-stability service-oriented deployment solution is now fully open-sourced, allowing users to customize Docker images and SDKs as required.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:

• Documentation has been updated to include key metrics for commonly used configurations on mainstream hardware, such as inference latency and memory usage, providing deployment references for users.
