We are trying automate the entire loan application and processing. So, this involved a lot of character recognition stuff as our target group have their financial documents as hard copies. Helping them autofill their information would make their task easier as well as avoid human errors while typing. So, after reading a few articles, I first designed a OCR using google’s OCR library tesseract. The classifier produced…

We are majorly facing challenge with cheques and bank statements with noisy background. e.g. those of HDFC bank.

#18Teaseract is ok printed material that's neatly organized, but other than that it seems the only other programmatic ocr is google cloud vision. It's a hundred times better, but unfortunately I need to OCR documents I can't contractual show the mighty G
The best - and most expensive - solution is still Abbyy OCR. They provide an SDK than can be used locally.
A new local OCR solution is Anyline.io, but I have not used them yet.

Could you explain what you mean by this ? We are trying to read shopping receipts, but I have ZERO background in image processing... so have been trying to figure out what to do. I have been trying to use Google Vision API though.
>The one which worked best for us was a custom designed filter using Otsu’s Thresholding principle.
Is this where you pre-preocess the image to make it readable ? How does one do it - are these specialized tools or can I do this in python (like http://www.scipy-lectures.org/packages/scikit-image/auto_exa...)
