Tesseract OCR is a powerful open-source optical character recognition engine designed to extract text from images, scanned documents, and PDFs with high accuracy. It uses LSTM-based neural networks for character recognition and supports multilingual and layout-aware text extraction. Oodles builds custom Tesseract OCR solutions using Tesseract OCR Engine, Python & C++ integrations, OpenCV preprocessing, PDF processing libraries, and REST APIs.
Tesseract OCR is an open-source optical character recognition engine originally developed by HP and now maintained by Google. It uses LSTM-based deep learning models to recognize printed text from images, scanned documents, and PDFs.
Oodles leverages Tesseract with advanced preprocessing pipelines, layout analysis (PSM modes), language packs, and post-processing logic to deliver production-ready OCR systems tailored to real-world document formats.
100+ languages & scripts
Fonts & domain-specific text
Easy system integration
Enterprise-scale processing
Efficient text extraction process with preprocessing, layout analysis, recognition, and advanced post-processing.
1
Preprocess: Enhance images, binarize, and remove noise for better OCR accuracy.
2
Layout Analysis: Detect lines, words, characters, tables, and page structures using Tesseract's PSM modes.
3
Recognize: LSTM neural networks detect and convert characters into editable text.
4
Post-process: Correct OCR errors using dictionaries, spell-checking, and language models. Format text for integration.
5
Output & Integrate: Export editable text or searchable PDFs and integrate into your business workflows or applications.
