# OCR 

(English|[简体中文](./README_CN.md))

## Get Model
```
python -m paddle_serving_app.package --get_model ocr_rec
tar -xzvf ocr_rec.tar.gz
python -m paddle_serving_app.package --get_model ocr_det
tar -xzvf ocr_det.tar.gz
```

## Get Dataset
```
wget --no-check-certificate https://paddle-serving.bj.bcebos.com/ocr/test_imgs.tar
tar xf test_imgs.tar
```

## Web Service

### Start Service

```
python -m paddle_serving_server_gpu.serve --model ocr_det_model --port 9293 --gpu_id 0
python ocr_web_server.py
```

### Client Prediction
```
python ocr_web_client.py
```
If you want a faster web service, please try Web Debugger Service

## Web Debugger Service
```
python ocr_debugger_server.py
```

## Web Debugger Client Prediction
```
python ocr_web_client.py
```

## Appendix: Det or Rec only
if you are going to detect images not recognize it or directly recognize the words from images. We also provide Det and Rec server for you.

### Det Server 

```
python det_web_server.py 
#or
python det_debugger_server.py
```

### Det Client

```
# also use ocr_web_client.py
python ocr_web_client.py
```

### Rec Server

```
python rec_web_server.py 
#or
python rec_debugger_server.py
```

### Rec Client

```
python rec_web_client.py
```
