OnnxOCR

A High-Performance Multilingual OCR Engine Based on ONNX

🚀 Version Updates

• 2025.05.21
  1. Added PP-OCRv5 model, supporting 5 language types in a single model: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Chinese Pinyin, English, and Japanese.
  2. Overall recognition accuracy improved by 13% compared to PP-OCRv4.
  3. Accuracy is consistent with PaddleOCR 3.0.

🌟 Core Advantages

1. Deep Learning Framework-Free: A universal OCR engine ready for direct deployment.
2. Cross-Architecture Support: Uses PaddleOCR-converted ONNX models, rebuilt for deployment on both ARM and x86 architecture computers with unchanged accuracy under limited computing power.
3. High-Performance Inference: Faster inference speed on computers with the same performance.
4. Multilingual Support: Single model supports 5 language types: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Chinese Pinyin, English, and Japanese.
5. Model Accuracy: Consistent with PaddleOCR models.
6. Domestic Hardware Adaptation: Restructured code architecture for easy adaptation to more domestic GPUs by modifying only the inference engine.

🛠️ Environment Setup

python>=3.6  

pip install -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple -r requirements.txt  

Note:

• The Mobile version model is used by default; the PP-OCRv5_Server-ONNX model offers better performance.
• The Mobile model is already in onnxocr/models/ppocrv5 and requires no download;
• The PP-OCRv5_Server-ONNX model is large and uploaded to Baidu Netdisk (extraction code: wu8t). After downloading, place the det and rec models in ./models/ppocrv5/ to replace the existing ones.
