EasyOCR

EasyOCR is an OCR library for reading text from images, with ready-to-use recognition for more than 80 languages and all popular writing scripts, including Latin, Chinese, Arabic, Devanagari, and Cyrillic. One tool handles many scripts without building a custom pipeline for each.

It runs a detection and recognition pipeline in Python with PyTorch. The text reader accepts image files, OpenCV image objects, image bytes, and raw image URLs. You can read multiple languages at once, disable the GPU, reduce output detail, and swap in different detection or recognition models.

EasyOCR is developed by Jaided AI, which also offers enterprise support for custom OCR systems. It installs with pip for local use or deployment in your own environment, and a browser demo is hosted on the project website.
