It wraps nine runtime dependencies\u2014opencv-python, numpy, Pillow, onnxruntime, and others\u2014to provide text detection and recognition in a single Python interface. The package is designed for offline deployment with minimal resource consumption and cross-platform compatibility.\n\nYou instantiate a RapidOCR engine and call it on image paths or URLs; it returns structured results containing detected text boxes and their content. The library supports Chinese and English by default, with other languages available via model substitution. It is actively maintained, widely used in downstream projects (langchain, Docling, and others), and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is widely adopted in production systems. Apache 2.0 licensing is permissive. Install it if you need offline OCR with reasonable speed and accuracy; verify model download behavior and performance on your target hardware before committing to production use."},"id":"rapidocr-onnxruntime","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rapidocr-onnxruntime","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rapidocr-onnxruntime.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/rapidocr-onnxruntime/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-01-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"rapidocr-onnxruntime","python_support":"capped_below_current","summary":"A cross platform OCR Library based on OnnxRuntime."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2517725,"position":3027,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.4.4"}
