What is yodaOCR?
yodaOCR is a free OCR engine that allows optical character recognition (OCR) on documents or images in natural scenes.
Why yodaOCR?
I've harbored a long-standing desire to craft an OCR engine accessible to a broad user base. yodaOCR embodies simplicity and potency, excelling in text recognition within even the most formidable environments, rivalling commercial OCRs. As a personal project, yodaOCR represents a commitment of my free time. It was meticulously developed in 2023 by José Luis Rey, part of the ChronoScan Dev Team.
