PaddleOCR aims to create multilingual, awesome, leading, and practical OCR tools that help users train better models and apply them into practice.
PaddleOCR aims to create multilingual, awesome, leading, and practical OCR tools that help users train better models and apply them into practice.
## Notice
PaddleOCR supports both dynamic graph and static graph programming paradigm
- Dynamic graph: dygraph branch (default)
- Static graph: develop branch

- 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.

- 2020.9.19 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)
- 2020.9.17 update [English recognition model](./doc/doc_en/models_list_en.md#english-recognition-model) and [Multilingual recognition model](doc/doc_en/models_list_en.md#english-recognition-model), `English`, `Chinese`, `German`, `French`, `Japanese` and `Korean` have been supported. Models for more languages will continue to be updated.
- 2020.8.24 Support the use of PaddleOCR through whl package installation,please refer [PaddleOCR Package](./doc/doc_en/whl_en.md)
- 2020.8.21 Update the replay and PPT of the live lesson at Bilibili on August 18, lesson 2, easy to learn and use OCR tool spree. [Get Address](https://aistudio.baidu.com/aistudio/education/group/info/1519)
