Developers, researchers, and engineers wanting a tool to accurately parse and understand complex documents, layouts, and visual-text content at scale
About GLM-OCR
GLM-OCR is a multimodal optical character recognition model and open source repository that provides accurate, efficient, and comprehensive document understanding by combining text and visual modalities into a unified encoder–decoder architecture derived from the GLM-V family. Built with a visual encoder pre-trained on large-scale image–text data and a lightweight cross-modal connector feeding into a GLM-0.5B language decoder, the model supports layout detection, parallel region recognition, and structured output for text, tables, formulas, and complicated real-world document formats. It introduces Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) loss and stable full-task reinforcement learning to improve training efficiency, recognition accuracy, and generalization, achieving state-of-the-art benchmarks on major document understanding tasks.

HunyuanOCR
Tencent Hunyuan is a large-scale, multimodal AI model family developed by Tencent that spans text, image, video, and 3D modalities, designed for general-purpose AI tasks like content generation, visual reasoning, and business automation. Its model lineup includes variants optimized for natural language understanding, multimodal vision-language comprehension (e.g., image & video understanding), text-to-image creation, video generation, and 3D content generation. Hunyuan models leverage a mixture-of-experts architecture and other innovations (like hybrid “mamba-transformer” designs) to deliver strong performance on reasoning, long-context understanding, cross-modal tasks, and efficient inference. For example, the vision-language model Hunyuan-Vision-1.5 supports “thinking-on-image”, enabling deep multimodal understanding and reasoning on images, video frames, diagrams, or spatial data.

CodeT5
Code for CodeT5, a new code-aware pre-trained encoder-decoder model. Identifier-aware unified pre-trained encoder-decoder models for code understanding and generation. This is the official PyTorch implementation for the EMNLP 2021 paper from Salesforce Research. CodeT5-large-ntp-py is specially optimized for Python code generation tasks and employed as the foundation model for our CodeRL, yielding new SOTA results on the APPS Python competition-level program synthesis benchmark. This repo provides the code for reproducing the experiments in CodeT5. CodeT5 is a new pre-trained encoder-decoder model for programming languages, which is pre-trained on 8.35M functions in 8 programming languages (Python, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, Go, C, and C#). In total, it achieves state-of-the-art results on 14 sub-tasks in a code intelligence benchmark - CodeXGLUE. Generate code based on the natural language description.

PrecisionOCR
PrecisionOCR is a ready-to-use, secure, HIPAA-compliant, cloud-based platform for extracting medical meaning from unstructured documents using Optical Character Recognition (OCR).
PrecisionOCR uses custom Optical Character Recognition and AI algorithms to convert PDFs/JPEGs/PNGs into structured, searchable documents. Organizations can work with our team to build OCR report extractors which look for specific types of information to extract or highlight to reduce the noise that comes from extracting all of the data within a document.
Natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) power the semi-automated and automated transformation of source material such as pdfs or images into structured data records that integrate seamlessly with EMR data using HL7s FHIR standards. Data can be automatically stored along side patient records.
Our OCR document classification is also available along with multiple ways to integrate including API and CLI support.

ByteScout Text Recognition SDK
Text Recognition is the process of detecting and converting images or documents (e.g. PDF) that contain typed or printed text into a computer encoded text using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) process powered by Machine Learning and AI. Automates tedious tasks such as data entry from specific documents such as driver licenses, passports, receipts, technical documents, bank statements, etc. Functions to specify rectangular areas of an image those are subject to the recognition with optional rotation and flipping. We combine very sophisticated technologies with any tools you’ll find on the website. We make our SDKs respond to your needs. If you are looking for tutorials and explanations, source codes and documentation will give you a better understanding of what is going on.
