OCRopus

OCRopus is an open-source software system designed for optical character recognition (OCR), which is the process of converting different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents or images, into editable and searchable text. Developed primarily for historical texts and documents, it utilizes advanced machine learning techniques, including neural networks, to accurately recognize and interpret characters in various languages and fonts. OCRopus is modular, meaning it can be customized and extended with additional tools and features to improve its performance and adaptability for specific OCR tasks or languages.
