Description[edit]

kraken is a turn-key OCR system forked from ocropus. It is intended to rectify a number of issues while preserving (mostly) functional equivalence.

main features:

  • Script detection and multi-script recognition support
  • Right-to-Left, BiDi, and Top-to-Bottom script support
  • ALTO, abbyXML, and hOCR output
  • Word bounding boxes and character cuts
  • Public repository of model files
  • Lightweight model files
  • Variable recognition network architectures

All functionality not pertaining to OCR and prerequisite steps has been removed, i.e. no more error rate measuring, etc.
