While Tesseract has had some major improvements over the last few years, I still find that it performs much worse than the (paid) computer vision APIs offered by Google, Azure and AWS.<p>Does anyone have recommendations for other open source OCR engines?
Unrelated, but I recently had to archive some docs and photos and had to start looking for a solid scanner client / OCR software. Prizmo Pro for Mac is incredible, and was one of the only OCR apps I could find that utilized a local RNN.<p>It’s results are nearly perfect and fast, 3-4x as accurate as adobe acrobat and easily 6-7x the speed.<p>Even as a dev it blows me away things like OCR running locally on a MacBook has come this far.
