Option to add another OCR
Hi Loren, I like your comparator! I also made an OCR engine and wondered if I could add it to your list. Thanks!
Oh, sorry I only saw your message now! 😱
I'm taking the agents course on Hugging Face, and I've been inundated with messages.
Yes, it's entirely possible to add another OCR to the list; the code was designed with that in mind. You can send me the specifications of your OCR, or if you like, you can try testing it locally. The project repo on GitHub: https://github.com/lde2015/Streamlit_OCR_Comparator/tree/main.
For local installation, please follow the instructions in the local_install.txt file. As for making changes to the code, it can be very quick: I had some issues with the latest version of mmocr, which I haven't resolved yet. The relevant code has been commented out for now.
So, you can take mmocr's place on the list!
At the same time, I'm working on an upgrade to the app: adding a section dedicated to image preparation/enhancement, primarily with OpenCV. It's progressing in small steps; with the arrival of AI, there are so many new things to explore!
Don't hesitate to get back to me if you have any questions, I'll be monitoring my notifications more closely now! 😄
