Baidu OCR

What Baidu OCR is

Baidu OCR recognizes text in images, including printed and handwritten material, and offers more than 70 capabilities for different industries and use cases. Its document options include structured recognition for identity and bank cards, business licenses, household registers, passports, and transport documents. Baidu says general recognition and recognition of major certificates and receipts exceed 98% accuracy. Organizations can connect to the public cloud through online APIs or HTTP SDKs, or integrate an offline SDK into devices such as phones, cameras, and law-enforcement recorders. The listed SDK languages include Android, iOS, Java, PHP, Python, C++, C#, and Node.js. For private deployment, Baidu offers local-server and private-cloud options; its packaged Docker software supports CPU or GPU environments. Baidu says local deployment stays within a dedicated network rather than uploading data to the public internet. The product has no free plan, but a free test allowance is listed after real-name verification: 1,000 monthly calls for personal accounts or 2,000 for enterprise accounts using General OCR Standard. A shared resource package is listed at CN¥330, paid once.
