# OCR Model List（V2.1, updated on 2021.9.6）
> **Note**
> 1. Compared with the model v2.0, the 2.1 version of the detection model has a improvement in accuracy, and the 2.1 version of the recognition model has optimizations in accuracy and speed with CPU.
> 2. Compared with [models 1.1](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/blob/develop/doc/doc_en/models_list_en.md), which are trained with static graph programming paradigm, models 2.0 are the dynamic graph trained version and achieve close performance.
> 3. All models in this tutorial are all ppocr-series models, for more introduction of algorithms and models based on public dataset, you can refer to [algorithm overview tutorial](./algorithm_overview_en.md).

- [1. Text Detection Model](#Detection)
- [2. Text Recognition Model](#Recognition)
    - [2.1 Chinese Recognition Model](#Chinese)
    - [2.2 English Recognition Model](#English)
    - [2.3 Multilingual Recognition Model](#Multilingual)
- [3. Text Angle Classification Model](#Angle)
- [4. Paddle-Lite Model](#Paddle-Lite)

The downloadable models provided by PaddleOCR include `inference model`, `trained model`, `pre-trained model` and `slim model`. The differences between the models are as follows:

|model type|model format|description|
|--- | --- | --- |
|inference model|inference.pdmodel、inference.pdiparams|Used for inference based on Paddle inference engine，[detail](./inference_en.md)|
|trained model, pre-trained model|\*.pdparams、\*.pdopt、\*.states |The checkpoints model saved in the training process, which stores the parameters of the model, mostly used for model evaluation and continuous training.|
|slim model|\*.nb| Model compressed by PaddleSlim (a model compression tool using PaddlePaddle), which is suitable for mobile-side deployment scenarios (Paddle-Lite is needed for slim model deployment). |

Relationship of the above models is as follows.

**Note:** The `trained model` is fine-tuned on the `pre-trained model` with real data and synthesized vertical text data, which achieved better performance in real scene. The `pre-trained model` is directly trained on the full amount of real data and synthesized data, which is more suitable for fine-tune on your own dataset.
