# PaddleOCR Quick Start
**Note:** This tutorial mainly introduces the usage of PP-OCR series models, please refer to [PP-Structure Quick Start](../ppstructure/overview.en.md) for the quick use of document analysis related functions.
## 1. Installation
### 1.1 Install PaddlePaddle
> If you do not have a Python environment, please refer to [Environment Preparation](./environment.en.md).
- If you have CUDA 11 installed on your machine, please run the following command to install
```bash linenums="1"
pip install paddlepaddle-gpu
```
- If you have no available GPU on your machine, please run the following command to install the CPU version
```bash linenums="1"
python -m pip install paddlepaddle
```
For more software version requirements, please refer to the instructions in [Installation Document](https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/en/install/quick) for operation.
### 1.2 Install PaddleOCR Whl Package
```bash linenums="1"
pip install "paddleocr>=2.0.1" # Recommend to use version 2.0.1+
```
- **For windows users:** If you getting this error `OSError: [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found` when you install shapely on windows. Please try to download Shapely whl file [here](http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#shapely).
Reference: [Solve shapely installation on windows](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44398265/install-shapely-oserror-winerror-126-the-specified-module-could-not-be-found)
## 2. Easy-to-Use
### 2.1 Use by Command Line
PaddleOCR provides a series of test images, click [here](https://paddleocr.bj.bcebos.com/dygraph_v2.1/ppocr_img.zip) to download, and then switch to the corresponding directory in the terminal
```bash linenums="1"
cd /path/to/ppocr_img
```
If you do not use the provided test image, you can replace the following `--image_dir` parameter with the corresponding test image path
#### 2.1.1 Chinese and English Model
- Detection, direction classification and recognition: set the parameter`--use_gpu false` to disable the gpu device
```bash linenums="1"
paddleocr --image_dir ./imgs_en/img_12.jpg --use_angle_cls true --lang en --use_gpu false
```
Output will be a list, each item contains bounding box, text and recognition confidence
```bash linenums="1"
[[[441.0, 174.0], [1166.0, 176.0], [1165.0, 222.0], [441.0, 221.0]], ('ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS', 0.9971134662628174)]
[[[403.0, 346.0], [1204.0, 348.0], [1204.0, 384.0], [402.0, 383.0]], ('We would like to thank all the designers and', 0.9761400818824768)]
[[[403.0, 396.0], [1204.0, 398.0], [1204.0, 434.0], [402.0, 433.0]], ('contributors who have been involved in the', 0.9791957139968872)]
......
```
pdf file is also supported, you can infer the first few pages by using the `page_num` parameter, the default is 0, which means infer all pages
```bash linenums="1"
paddleocr --image_dir ./xxx.pdf --use_angle_cls true --use_gpu false --page_num 2
```
- Only detection: set `--rec` to `false`
```bash linenums="1"
paddleocr --image_dir ./imgs_en/img_12.jpg --rec false
```
Output will be a list, each item only contains bounding box
```bash linenums="1"
[[397.0, 802.0], [1092.0, 802.0], [1092.0, 841.0], [397.0, 841.0]]
[[397.0, 750.0], [1211.0, 750.0], [1211.0, 789.0], [397.0, 789.0]]
[[397.0, 702.0], [1209.0, 698.0], [1209.0, 734.0], [397.0, 738.0]]
......
```
- Only recognition: set `--det` to `false`
```bash linenums="1"
paddleocr --image_dir ./imgs_words_en/word_10.png --det false --lang en
```
Output will be a list, each item contains text and recognition confidence
```bash linenums="1"
['PAIN', 0.9934559464454651]
```
**Version**
paddleocr uses the PP-OCRv4 model by default(`--ocr_version PP-OCRv4`). If you want to use other versions, you can set the parameter `--ocr_version`, the specific version description is as follows:
| version name | description |
| --- | --- |
| PP-OCRv4 | support Chinese and English detection and recognition, direction classifier, support multilingual recognition |
| PP-OCRv3 | support Chinese and English detection and recognition, direction classifier, support multilingual recognition |
| PP-OCRv2 | only supports Chinese and English detection and recognition, direction classifier, multilingual model is not updated |
| PP-OCR | support Chinese and English detection and recognition, direction classifier, support multilingual recognition |
If you want to add your own trained model, you can add model links and keys in [paddleocr](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/blob/c65a66c5fd37dee64916a8b2a2c84ea273d98cac/paddleocr.py) and recompile.
More whl package usage can be found in [whl package](./blog/whl.en.md)
#### 2.1.2 Multi-language Model
PaddleOCR currently supports 80 languages, which can be switched by modifying the `--lang` parameter.
``` bash
paddleocr --image_dir ./doc/imgs_en/254.jpg --lang=en
```
![](./images/254.jpg)
![](./images/multi_lang/img_02.jpg)
The result is a list, each item contains a text box, text and recognition confidence
```text linenums="1"
[[[67.0, 51.0], [327.0, 46.0], [327.0, 74.0], [68.0, 80.0]], ('PHOCAPITAL', 0.9944712519645691)]
[[[72.0, 92.0], [453.0, 84.0], [454.0, 114.0], [73.0, 122.0]], ('107 State Street', 0.9744491577148438)]

A list of all languages and their corresponding abbreviations can be found in [Multi-Language Model Tutorial](./blog/multi_languages.en.md)
### 2.2 Use by Code
#### 2.2.1 Chinese & English Model and Multilingual Model
- detection, angle classification and recognition:
```python linenums="1"
from paddleocr import PaddleOCR,draw_ocr
# Paddleocr supports Chinese, English, French, German, Korean and Japanese.
# You can set the parameter `lang` as `ch`, `en`, `fr`, `german`, `korean`, `japan`
# to switch the language model in order.
ocr = PaddleOCR(use_angle_cls=True, lang='en') # need to run only once to download and load model into memory
img_path = './imgs_en/img_12.jpg'
result = ocr.ocr(img_path, cls=True)
for idx in range(len(result)):
res = result[idx]
for line in res:
print(line)
# draw result
from PIL import Image
result = result[0]
image = Image.open(img_path).convert('RGB')
boxes = [line[0] for line in result]
txts = [line[1][0] for line in result]
scores = [line[1][1] for line in result]
im_show = draw_ocr(image, boxes, txts, scores, font_path='./fonts/simfang.ttf')
im_show = Image.fromarray(im_show)
im_show.save('result.jpg')
```
Output will be a list, each item contains bounding box, text and recognition confidence
```bash linenums="1"
[[[441.0, 174.0], [1166.0, 176.0], [1165.0, 222.0], [441.0, 221.0]], ('ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS', 0.9971134662628174)]
[[[403.0, 346.0], [1204.0, 348.0], [1204.0, 384.0], [402.0, 383.0]], ('We would like to thank all the designers and', 0.9761400818824768)]
[[[403.0, 396.0], [1204.0, 398.0], [1204.0, 434.0], [402.0, 433.0]], ('contributors who have been involved in the', 0.9791957139968872)]
......
```
Visualization of results
![](./images/11_det_rec.jpg)
If the input is a PDF file, you can refer to the following code for visualization
```python linenums="1"
from paddleocr import PaddleOCR, draw_ocr
# Paddleocr supports Chinese, English, French, German, Korean and Japanese.
# You can set the parameter `lang` as `ch`, `en`, `fr`, `german`, `korean`, `japan`
# to switch the language model in order.
PAGE_NUM = 10 # Set the recognition page number
pdf_path = 'default.pdf'
ocr = PaddleOCR(use_angle_cls=True, lang="ch", page_num=PAGE_NUM) # need to run only once to download and load model into memory
# ocr = PaddleOCR(use_angle_cls=True, lang="ch", page_num=PAGE_NUM,use_gpu=0) # To Use GPU,uncomment this line and comment the above one.
result = ocr.ocr(pdf_path, cls=True)
for idx in range(len(result)):
res = result[idx]
if res == None: # Skip when empty result detected to avoid TypeError:NoneType
print(f"[DEBUG] Empty page {idx+1} detected, skip it.")
continue
for line in res:
print(line)
# draw the result
import fitz
from PIL import Image
import cv2
import numpy as np
imgs = []
with fitz.open(pdf_path) as pdf:
for pg in range(0, PAGE_NUM):
page = pdf[pg]
mat = fitz.Matrix(2, 2)
pm = page.get_pixmap(matrix=mat, alpha=False)
# if width or height > 2000 pixels, don't enlarge the image
if pm.width > 2000 or pm.height > 2000:
pm = page.get_pixmap(matrix=fitz.Matrix(1, 1), alpha=False)
img = Image.frombytes("RGB", [pm.width, pm.height], pm.samples)
img = cv2.cvtColor(np.array(img), cv2.COLOR_RGB2BGR)
imgs.append(img)
for idx in range(len(result)):
res = result[idx]
if res == None:
continue
image = imgs[idx]
boxes = [line[0] for line in res]
txts = [line[1][0] for line in res]
scores = [line[1][1] for line in res]
im_show = draw_ocr(image, boxes, txts, scores, font_path='doc/fonts/simfang.ttf')
im_show = Image.fromarray(im_show)
im_show.save('result_page_{}.jpg'.format(idx))
```
- Detection and Recognition Using Sliding Windows
To perform OCR using sliding windows, the following code snippet can be employed:
```python linenums="1"
from paddleocr import PaddleOCR
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
# Initialize OCR engine
ocr = PaddleOCR(use_angle_cls=True, lang="en")
img_path = "./very_large_image.jpg"
slice = {'horizontal_stride': 300, 'vertical_stride': 500, 'merge_x_thres': 50, 'merge_y_thres': 35}
results = ocr.ocr(img_path, cls=True, slice=slice)
# Load image
image = Image.open(img_path).convert("RGB")
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image)
font = ImageFont.truetype("./doc/fonts/simfang.ttf", size=20) # Adjust size as needed
# Process and draw results
for res in results:
for line in res:
box = [tuple(point) for point in line[0]]
# Finding the bounding box
box = [(min(point[0] for point in box), min(point[1] for point in box)),
(max(point[0] for point in box), max(point[1] for point in box))]
txt = line[1][0]
draw.rectangle(box, outline="red", width=2) # Draw rectangle
draw.text((box[0][0], box[0][1] - 25), txt, fill="blue", font=font) # Draw text above the box
# Save result
image.save("result.jpg")
```
This example initializes the PaddleOCR instance with angle classification enabled and sets the language to English. The `ocr` method is then called with several parameters to customize the detection and recognition process, including the `slice` parameter for handling image slices.
For a more comprehensive understanding of the slicing operation, please refer to the [slice operation documentation](./blog/slice.en.md).
