Description:
I would like to suggest integrating PaddleOCR as an alternative to Tesseract for OCR tasks. PaddleOCR provides several significant advantages, including robust multilingual support, the ability to leverage GPU acceleration, and superior layout handling capabilities. Additionally, it could be relatively straightforward to package, which could simplify the integration process.
Benefits:
- Multilingual support
- Optional GPU acceleration
- Layout and table handling
- Easy to package?
