- 2022.5.9 release PaddleOCR v2.5, including:
-[PP-OCRv3](./doc/doc_en/ppocr_introduction_en.md#pp-ocrv3): With comparable speed, the effect of Chinese scene is further improved by 5% compared with PP-OCRv2, the effect of English scene is improved by 11%, and the average recognition accuracy of 80 language multilingual models is improved by more than 5%.
-[PPOCRLabelv2](./PPOCRLabel): Add the annotation function for table recognition task, key information extraction task and irregular text image.
- Interactive e-book [*"Dive into OCR"*](./doc/doc_en/ocr_book_en.md), covers the cutting-edge theory and code practice of OCR full stack technology.
- 2021.12.21 release PaddleOCR v2.4, release 1 text detection algorithm (PSENet), 3 text recognition algorithms (NRTR、SEED、SAR), 1 key information extraction algorithm (SDMGR, [tutorial](./ppstructure/docs/kie_en.md)) and 3 DocVQA algorithms (LayoutLM, LayoutLMv2, LayoutXLM, [tutorial](./ppstructure/vqa)).
