PaddleOCR aims to create multilingual, awesome, leading, and practical OCR tools that help users train better models and apply them into practice.
**Recent updates**
- 2020.11.25 Update a new data annotation tool, i.e., [PPOCRLabel](./PPOCRLabel/README_en.md), which is helpful to improve the labeling efficiency. Moreover, the labeling results can be used in training of the PP-OCR system directly.
- 2020.12.15 update Data synthesis tool, i.e., [Style-Text](./StyleTextRec/README.md),easy to synthesize a large number of images which are similar to the target scene image.
- 2020.12.15 Release the branch of the release/2.0-rc1, support both the dynamic graph development (more convenient for training and debugging) and the static graph deployment (higher prediction efficiency).
- 2020.11.25 Update a new data annotation tool, i.e., [PPOCRLabel](./PPOCRLabel/README.md), which is helpful to improve the labeling efficiency. Moreover, the labeling results can be used in training of the PP-OCR system directly.
- 2020.9.22 Update the PP-OCR technical article, https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.09941
- 2020.9.19 Update the ultra lightweight compressed ppocr_mobile_slim series models, the overall model size is 3.5M (see [PP-OCR Pipeline](#PP-OCR-Pipeline)), suitable for mobile deployment. [Model Downloads](#Supported-Chinese-model-list)
- 2020.9.17 Update the ultra lightweight ppocr_mobile series and general ppocr_server series Chinese and English ocr models, which are comparable to commercial effects. [Model Downloads](#Supported-Chinese-model-list)
