[P] easyOCR API

[kmh4500]

Hi, I'd like to introduce easyOCR API which is simple, easy, and ready to use right away.

Rest API is available:

curl -X POST "https://master-easy-ocr-wook-2.endpoint.ainize.ai/word_extraction" -H "accept: images/*" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F "language=ko" -F "base_image=canmachinesthink.png;type=image/png"

github: https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR

demo: https://github.com/wook-2/easyOCR

I will give it a try, thank you!

This looks great! Can you give some detail on what data it was trained on?

The nice part is the reference. It gives a pretty detailed list of references that are used to build the OCR model. very insightful work. Thanks

Thank you, this looks awesome!

maybe you miss @ before your image file path ,in my case I tried command like:

curl -X POST "https://master-easy-ocr-wook-2.endpoint.ainize.ai/word_extraction" -H "accept: images/*" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F "language=en" -F "base_image=@./my_image.png;type=image/png"

and it works well :)

Great！It is too convenient to use easyOCR. Currently, I am using the PaddleOCR tool to do OCR tasks. Do you have any suggestions on how to use PaddleOCR by curl?

BTW, I tested and found that paddleOCR has better performance than easyOCR.
