Recognize

# 带坐标
result = reader.readtext('Documents/fp01.png')

# 不带坐标, 合并相邻text box
result = reader.readtext('Documents/tu01.jpg', detail = 0, paragraph=True)
print(result)

Performance

  • Speed is slow when using CPU
  • The correct rate is good when extracting text from e-print or screenshot pictures
  • The correct rate drops a lot when handling the photos taken by a cellphone
