How well ocrs perform when compared against tesseract ?

[Greatz08]

Have you created some performance checks or tests to observe its performance when compared against tesseract ?

[robertknight]

Do you mean performance as in speed, or performance as in recognition accuracy?

[Greatz08]

@robertknight both if possible, accuracy still first priority for me and many atleast :-)

There aren't any proper accuracy benchmarks against well known datasets - help creating evaluation tools for this is welcome. In general it depends on the input image. Tesseract can be more accurate on "clean" document images, but Ocrs can handle a wider range of input images (varying text styles, varying backgrounds, light text on dark backgrounds etc.). Tesseract has models for a variety of languages, Ocrs only has one model trained predominantly on English.
