- Improved English/Korean text recognition with new Pororo OCR support! 🎉
- Special thanks to black7375 for https://github.com/black7375/korean_ocr_using_pororo (where he suggested using EasyOCR for text detection and BrainOCR (Pororo's OCR module) for text recognition) and https://github.com/junhoyeo/BetterOCR/issues/2.
- Also kudos to the kakaobrain team and yunwoong7.

Notes
Pororo is used only if the language options (`lang`) specified include either 🇺🇸 English (`en`) or 🇰🇷 Korean (`ko`). Also additional dependencies listed in <a href="https://github.com/junhoyeo/BetterOCR/blob/main/pyproject.toml#L22"><code>[tool.poetry.group.pororo.dependencies]</code></a> must be available. (If not, it'll automatically be excluded from enabled engines.)

> 🔍 Better text detection by combining multiple OCR engines with 🧠 LLM.

OCR _still_ sucks! ... Especially when you're from the _other side_ of the world (and face a significant lack of training data in your language) — or just not thrilled with noisy results.

**BetterOCR** combines results from multiple OCR engines with an LLM to correct & reconstruct the output.

- **🔍 OCR Engines**: Currently supports [EasyOCR](https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR) and [Tesseract](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract).
- **🧠 LLM**: Supports [Chat models](https://github.com/openai/openai-python#chat-completions) from OpenAI.
- **📒 Custom Context**: Allows users to provide an optional context to use specific keywords such as proper nouns and product names. This assists in spelling correction and noise identification, ensuring accuracy even with rare or unconventional words.

Head over to [💯 Examples](https://github.com/junhoyeo/BetterOCR#-examples) to view performace by languages (🇺🇸, 🇰🇷, 🇮🇳).

Coming Soon: improved interface, async support, box detection, and more.
