paperless-paddle-ocr

CPU-friendly OCR sidecar that improves Paperless-NGX text extraction using PaddleOCR.

Servicefree

paperless-paddle-ocr is a CPU-friendly sidecar worker that re-runs OCR on documents already stored in a self-hosted Paperless-NGX instance, using PaddleOCR instead of the built-in Tesseract engine, and writes the improved text back via the API. It targets documents where the default OCR struggles, such as difficult scans, handwriting-adjacent text, or non-Latin scripts. It is aimed at Paperless-NGX self-hosters who want more accurate full-text search without needing a GPU.
