OCR Tamil - Easy, Accurate and Simple to use Tamil OCR - (ஒளி எழுத்துணரி)

❤️️❤️️Please star✨ it if you like❤️️❤️️

OCR Tamil can help you extract text from signboard, nameplates, storefronts etc., from Natural Scenes with high accuracy. This version of OCR is much more robust to tilted text compared to the Tesseract, Paddle OCR and Easy OCR as they are primarily built to work on the documents texts and not on natural scenes.

Languages Supported 🔛

➡️ English

➡️ Tamil (தமிழ்)

Accuracy 🎯

✔️ English > 98%

✔️ Tamil > 95%

Comparison between Tesseract OCR, EasyOCR and OCR Tamil ⚖️

🏎️ 10-40% faster inference time than EasyOCR and Tesseract

How to Install and Use OCR Tamil 👨🏼‍💻

Quick links🌐

📔 Detailed explanation on Medium article.

✍️ Experiment in Colab notebook

🤗 Test it in Huggingface spaces

Pip install instructions🐍

In your command line, run the following command pip install ocr_tamil

If you are using jupyter notebook , install like !pip install ocr_tamil

Python Usage - Single image inference

Text Recognition only

from ocr_tamil.ocr import OCR

image_path = r"test_images\1.jpg" # insert your own path here
ocr = OCR()
text_list = ocr.predict(image_path)
print(text_list[0])

## OUTPUT : நெடுஞ்சாலைத்

Text Detect + Recognition

from ocr_tamil.ocr import OCR

image_path = r"test_images\0.jpg" # insert your own image path here
ocr = OCR(detect=True)
texts = ocr.predict(image_path)
print(" ".join(texts[0]))

## OUTPUT : கொடைக்கானல் Kodaikanal

Batch inference mode 💻

Text Recognition only

from ocr_tamil.ocr import OCR

image_path = [r"test_images\1.jpg",r"test_images\2.jpg"] # insert your own image paths here
ocr = OCR()
text_list = ocr.predict(image_path)

for text in text_list:
    print(text)

## OUTPUT : நெடுஞ்சாலைத்
## OUTPUT : கோபி

Text Detect + Recognition

from ocr_tamil.ocr import OCR

image_path = [r"test_images\0.jpg",r"test_images\tamil_sentence.jpg"] # insert your own image paths here
ocr = OCR(detect=True)
text_list = ocr.predict(image_path)

for item in text_list:
  print(" ".join(item))
    

## OUTPUT : கொடைக்கானல் Kodaikanal 
## OUTPUT : செரியர் யற்கை மூலிகைகளில் இருந்து ஈர்த்தெடுக்க்கப்பட்ட வீரிய உட்பொருட்களை உள்ளடக்கி எந்த இரசாயன சேர்க்கைகளும் இல்லாமல் உருவாக்கப்பட்ட இந்தியாவின் முதல் சித்த தயாரிப்பு

Advanced usage🚀

OCR module can be initialized by setting following parameters as per your requirements

1. Confidence of word ->  OCR(details=1)
2. Bounding Box and Confidence of word -> OCR(detect=True,details=2)
3. To change the CRAFT Text detection settings -> OCR(detect=True,text_threshold=0.5,
                                               link_threshold=0.1,
                                               low_text=0.30)
4. To increase the Batch size of text recognition -> OCR(batch_size=16) # set as per available memory
5. To configure the language to be extracted -> OCR(lang=["tamil"]) # list can take "english" or "tamil" or both. Defaults to both language

Tested using Python 3.10 on Windows & Linux (Ubuntu 22.04) Machines

Applications⚡

ADAS system navigation based on the signboards + maps (hybrid approach) 🚁
License plate recognition 🚘

Limitations⛔

Document text reading capability is not supported as library doesn't have

➡️Auto identification of Paragraph

➡️Orientation detection

➡️Skew correction

➡️Reading order prediction

➡️Document unwarping

➡️Optimal Text detection for Document text not available

(WORKAROUND Bring your own models for above cases and use with OCR tamil for text recognition)
Unable to read the text if they are present in rotated forms

Currently supports Only Tamil Language. I don't own english model as it's taken from open source implementation of parseq
