This project uses PaddleOCR, a deep-learning-based OCR engine that provides:

  • Higher accuracy than traditional OCR tools like pytesseract
  • Better performance on noisy and complex images
  • Strong support for structured text extraction

PaddleOCR replaces the earlier pytesseract-based pipeline for improved reliability.
