  The experiment involved processing the entire corpus of approximately 18,500 documents in each OCR engine, measuring the accuracy against ground truth using the Information Science Research Institute (ISRI) tool, and comparing the results to two document collections of 322 English-language and 100 Arabic-language page scans.

Comparing Different Technologies such as Tesseract (for English text), Amazon Textract (for Arabic text), and Google DocumentAI (for English text) for OCR

By analyzing the comparative performance of these three products and identifying distinctions in frequently encountered types of text imperfections, this study can aid researchers in making informed decisions when choosing the OCR solution that best aligns with their specific research needs. In the end this project showcases the usefulness and advantages of incorporating AWS Textract into OCR applications. It highlights how AWS Textract can enhance document processing efficiency improve data accessibility and ensure compliance adherence. The project offers insights, for organizations looking to optimize their document management workflows and harness the capabilities of OCR through AWS Textract.

OCR with AWS Textract

The introduction of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology has brought about changes, in how businesses handle documents. This groundbreaking technology allows for the conversion of handwritten text into content that machines can easily read and understand. In this project we will explore the capabilities of Amazon Web Services Textract, an OCR service that combines cutting edge machine learning techniques with deep learning models. Our main focus is to delve into the architecture, features and practical applications of AWS Textract. We will thoroughly examine how this service excels at extracting text, forms and tables from types of documents like scanned papers, PDFs and images. By showcasing real world examples we aim to demonstrate how Textract seamlessly integrates with document management systems while enabling data analysis and automation processes. Furthermore, this article offers a detailed assessment of the efficiency and accuracy of three Optical Character Recognitio...
