Reads Khmer and English text from documents, receipts and photos of signs, using a detector for text lines and a recogniser for each line. Suits developers who need Khmer OCR in Python. anaksor-ocr is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-14. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by Sokheng ## About ### What it is anaksor-ocr holds the weights for Khmer OCR, with English and Latin text supported too. Two models work together. A detector finds the lines of text in an image, and a recogniser reads each cropped line. They power the anaksor-ocr Python package. ### Who it suits Developers who need to turn Khmer documents, receipts and sign photos into text, under the Apache 2.0 license. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Administration | Records teams | Digitize Khmer letters and forms | Turn a scanned letter into text | | Retail and finance | Back-office teams | Read receipts that mix Khmer and Latin text | Pull the text from a receipt photo | | Software | App developers | Add Khmer OCR to an app | Read a sign photo in a mobile app | | Research | NLP researchers | Study Khmer text detection and recognition | Compare model versions on a test set | Skip it if your text is in other scripts, since the model covers Khmer and English. ### Where to use it It runs in Python through the anaksor-ocr package, or from its command line. - Python on Windows, macOS or Linux - ONNX Runtime, which needs no PyTorch - The PyTorch backend, with CUDA or Apple MPS support - Offline machines, with weights placed in a local folder | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Document OCR | Back-office teams | The text of a letter or form | | Receipt reading | Finance teams | The text lines found on a receipt | | Sign reading | App developers | Text recognised in a photo | ### How to set it up You need Python and the package. - Python with pip - The anaksor-ocr package, with the torch extra if you want the PyTorch backend - A few hundred MB at most of weights, which the package fetches for you 1. Install the anaksor-ocr package with pip. 2. Optionally add the torch extra for the PyTorch backend. 3. Run it once so the package downloads and caches the model files. ```bash pip install anaksor-ocr pip install "anaksor-ocr[torch]" ``` You can also download the repository by hand, and pin a release by its tag. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download Sokheng/anaksor-ocr --local-dir weights/huggingface hf download Sokheng/anaksor-ocr --revision rec-v4-det-dbpp-v1 --local-dir weights/huggingface ``` ### How to use it Create the OCR object, pass it an image path, and read the text from the result. ```python import anaksor ocr = anaksor.OCR() result = ocr("letter.jpg") print(result["text"]) ``` The command line does the same. Environment variables pin a release or use local weights with no network. ```bash ANAKSOR_HF_REVISION=rec-v4-det-v3 anaksor letter.jpg anaksor --fetch-models ANAKSOR_WEIGHTS_DIR=./weights anaksor letter.jpg ``` | Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | anaksor.OCR | Runs detection and recognition on an image | | anaksor | Command line that reads an image file | | anaksor --fetch-models | Downloads the model files ahead of time | | ANAKSOR\_HF\_REVISION | Pins a tagged release of the weights | | ANAKSOR\_WEIGHTS\_DIR | Uses local weights and no network | ### Example You pass a photo of a typed Khmer letter to the OCR object. The result comes back with a text field, and you print it to read the letter's text. ### For newcomers and experts If you are new to OCR, install the package, run it on one clear photo and print the text. Fetching the models first is a good idea if your network is slow. If you know the field, recognition is an SVTRv2-B encoder with a CTC head, and detection is a mobile DBNet++ with a RepViT backbone and an Adaptive Scale Fusion block. The package hash-checks each download and caches it. The card adds that loading these file types does not execute code. Load a .pth checkpoint with the .yml config from the same revision. Load an image → Detector finds the text lines → Crop each line → Recogniser reads each crop → Return the text ### Good to know The card reports recognition v4 at 86.7% line accuracy on real validation lines, against 84.8% for the previous version. Gains are largest on Latin text, while Khmer-only lines are about one point behind v3. Line accuracy on real validation lines | Label | Value | | --- | --- | | v3 all lines | 84.8% | | v4 all lines | 86.7% | | v3 Latin lines | 66.9% | | v4 Latin lines | 76.4% | - License: Apache 2.0 - Cost to run: none named, apart from your own hardware - Data it reaches: the images you give it, plus model downloads and a local cache under your home folder - Not for: scripts other than Khmer and Latin, and reading text without checking the output ## README ````markdown # anaksor-ocr Reads Khmer and English text from documents, receipts and photos of signs, using a detector for text lines and a recogniser for each line.
