Download Releases:

•  Scoop Installer (Click to expand)

Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows that facilitates the management of multiple applications. You can install Scoop first and then use the following commands to install Umi-OCR:

  • Add the extras bucket:
scoop bucket add extras
  • (Optional 1) Install Umi-OCR (comes with the Rapid-OCR engine, better compatibility):
scoop install extras/umi-ocr
  • (Optional 2) Install Umi-OCR (comes with the Paddle-OCR engine, slightly faster):
scoop install extras/umi-ocr-paddle
  • Do not install both, as the shortcuts may be overwritten. However, you can import additional plugins to switch between different OCR engines at any time.

Getting Started

The software release package is available in .7z compressed format or as a self-extracting .7z.exe package. The self-extracting package can be used to extract files on a computer without compression software installed.

This software does not require installation. After extraction, simply click on Umi-OCR.exe to start the program.

If you encounter any problems, please submit an Issue and I will do my best to assist you.

About OCR Text Post-Processing - Paragraph Merge: This feature can organize the layout and order of OCR results to make the text more suitable for reading and use. The preset schemes are:

  • Single line: Merge text on the same line, suitable for most scenarios.
  • Multiple lines - natural paragraphs: Intelligently recognize and merge text belonging to the same paragraph, suitable for most scenarios, as shown in the figure above.
  • Multiple lines - code block: Try to restore the original indentation and spacing of the text. Suitable for recognizing code snippets or scenes that require retaining spaces.
  • Vertical layout: Suitable for vertical layout. Needs to be used in conjunction with a model library that also supports vertical layout recognition.

Batch OCR

Batch OCR: This page supports batch importing local images for recognition.

  • The recognized content can be saved in various formats such as txt/jsonl/md/csv(Excel).
  • Supports text post-processing technology, which can recognize text belonging to the same natural paragraph and merge it. It also supports multiple processing schemes such as code blocks and vertical text.
  • There is no limit on the number of images that can be imported for processing at one time, and the software can automatically shut down or sleep after completing the task.

Ignore Regions

About OCR Text Post-Processing - Ignore Regions: This is a special function in batch OCR that is used to exclude unwanted text in images.

  • The ignore region editor can be accessed in the right column of the batch recognition page settings.
  • As shown in the example above, there are multiple watermarks/LOGOs at the top and bottom right corner of the image. If these images are recognized in batches, the watermarks will interfere with the recognition results.
  • Hold down the right mouse button to draw multiple rectangular boxes. The text inside these areas will be ignored during the task.
  • Please try to draw the rectangular boxes larger, completely wrapping all possible positions of the watermark.
