## 🚀 Introduction
Since its initial release, PaddleOCR has gained widespread acclaim across academia, industry, and research communities, thanks to its cutting-edge algorithms and proven performance in real-world applications. It's already powering popular open-source projects like Umi-OCR, OmniParser, MinerU, and RAGFlow, making it the go-to OCR toolkit for developers worldwide.
On May 20, 2025, the PaddlePaddle team unveiled PaddleOCR 3.0, fully compatible with the official release of the **PaddlePaddle 3.0** framework. This update further **boosts text-recognition accuracy**, adds support for **multiple text-type recognition** and **handwriting recognition**, and meets the growing demand from large-model applications for **high-precision parsing of complex documents**. When combined with the **ERNIE 4.5 Turbo**, it significantly enhances key-information extraction accuracy. PaddleOCR 3.0 also introduces support for Chinese Heterogeneous AI Accelerators such as **KUNLUNXIN** and **Ascend**. For the complete usage documentation, please refer to the [PaddleOCR 3.0 Documentation](https://paddlepaddle.github.io/PaddleOCR/latest/en/index.html).
Three Major New Features in PaddleOCR 3.0:
- Universal-Scene Text Recognition Model [PP-OCRv5](./docs/version3.x/algorithm/PP-OCRv5/PP-OCRv5.en.md): A single model that handles five different text types plus complex handwriting. Overall recognition accuracy has increased by 13 percentage points over the previous generation. [Online Demo](https://aistudio.baidu.com/community/app/91660/webUI)
- General Document-Parsing Solution [PP-StructureV3](./docs/version3.x/algorithm/PP-StructureV3/PP-StructureV3.en.md): Delivers high-precision parsing of multi-layout, multi-scene PDFs, outperforming many open- and closed-source solutions on public benchmarks. [Online Demo](https://aistudio.baidu.com/community/app/518494/webUI)
- Intelligent Document-Understanding Solution [PP-ChatOCRv4](./docs/version3.x/algorithm/PP-ChatOCRv4/PP-ChatOCRv4.en.md): Natively powered by the ERNIE 4.5 Turbo, achieving 15 percentage points higher accuracy than its predecessor. [Online Demo](https://aistudio.baidu.com/community/app/518493/webUI)
In addition to providing an outstanding model library, PaddleOCR 3.0 also offers user-friendly tools covering model training, inference, and service deployment, so developers can rapidly bring AI applications to production.

## 📣 Recent updates
#### **2025.06.26: Release of PaddleOCR 3.0.3**, includes:
- Bug Fix: Resolved the issue where the `enable_mkldnn` parameter was not effective, restoring the default behavior of using MKL-DNN for CPU inference.
#### 🔥🔥 **2025.06.19: Release of PaddleOCR 3.0.2**, includes:
- **New Features:**
- The default download source has been changed from `BOS` to `HuggingFace`. Users can also change the environment variable `PADDLE_PDX_MODEL_SOURCE` to `BOS` to set the model download source back to Baidu Object Storage (BOS).
- Added service invocation examples for six languages—C++, Java, Go, C#, Node.js, and PHP—for pipelines like PP-OCRv5, PP-StructureV3, and PP-ChatOCRv4.
- Improved the layout partition sorting algorithm in the PP-StructureV3 pipeline, enhancing the sorting logic for complex vertical layouts to deliver better results.
- Enhanced model selection logic: when a language is specified but a model version is not, the system will automatically select the latest model version supporting that language.
- Set a default upper limit for MKL-DNN cache size to prevent unlimited growth, while also allowing users to configure cache capacity.
- Updated default configurations for high-performance inference to support Paddle MKL-DNN acceleration and optimized the logic for automatic configuration selection for smarter choices.
- Adjusted the logic for obtaining the default device to consider the actual support for computing devices by the installed Paddle framework, making program behavior more intuitive.
- Added Android example for PP-OCRv5. [Details](https://paddlepaddle.github.io/PaddleOCR/latest/en/version3.x/deployment/on_device_deployment.html).
- **Bug Fixes:**
- Fixed an issue with some CLI parameters in PP-StructureV3 not taking effect.
- Resolved an issue where `export_paddlex_config_to_yaml` would not function correctly in certain cases.
- Corrected the discrepancy between the actual behavior of `save_path` and its documentation description.
- Fixed potential multithreading errors when using MKL-DNN in basic service deployment.
- Corrected channel order errors in image preprocessing for the Latex-OCR model.
- Fixed channel order errors in saving visualized images within the text recognition module.
- Resolved channel order errors in visualized table results within PP-StructureV3 pipeline.
- Fixed an overflow issue in the calculation of `overlap_ratio` under extremely special circumstances in the PP-StructureV3 pipeline.
- **Documentation Improvements:**
- Updated the description of the `enable_mkldnn` parameter in the documentation to accurately reflect the program's actual behavior.
- Fixed errors in the documentation regarding the `lang` and `ocr_version` parameters.
- Added instructions for exporting production line configuration files via CLI.
- Fixed missing columns in the performance data table for PP-OCRv5.
- Refined benchmark metrics for PP-StructureV3 across different configurations.
- **Others:**
- Relaxed version restrictions on dependencies like numpy and pandas, restoring support for Python 3.12.

<summary><strong>History Log</strong></summary>
#### **🔥🔥 2025.06.05: Release of PaddleOCR 3.0.1, includes:**
- **Optimisation of certain models and model configurations:**
- Updated the default model configuration for PP-OCRv5, changing both detection and recognition from mobile to server models. To improve default performance in most scenarios, the parameter `limit_side_len` in the configuration has been changed from 736 to 64.
- Added a new text line orientation classification model `PP-LCNet_x1_0_textline_ori` with an accuracy of 99.42%. The default text line orientation classifier for OCR, PP-StructureV3, and PP-ChatOCRv4 pipelines has been updated to this model.
- Optimised the text line orientation classification model `PP-LCNet_x0_25_textline_ori`, improving accuracy by 3.3 percentage points to a current accuracy of 98.85%.
- **Optimizations and fixes for some issues in version 3.0.0, [details](https://paddlepaddle.github.io/PaddleOCR/latest/en/update/update.html)**
🔥🔥2025.05.20: Official Release of **PaddleOCR v3.0**, including:

1. 🌐 Single-model support for **five** text types - Seamlessly process **Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese Pinyin, English** and **Japanese** within a single model.
2. ✍️ Improved **handwriting recognition**: Significantly better at complex cursive scripts and non-standard handwriting.
3. 🎯 **13-point accuracy gain** over PP-OCRv4, achieving state-of-the-art performance across a variety of real-world scenarios.
- **PP-StructureV3**: General-Purpose Document Parsing Unleash SOTA Images/PDFs Parsing for Real-World Scenarios!
1. 🧮 **High-Accuracy multi-scene PDF parsing**, leading both open- and closed-source solutions on the OmniDocBench benchmark.
2. 🧠 Specialized capabilities include **seal recognition**, **chart-to-table conversion**, **table recognition with nested formulas/images**, **vertical text document parsing**, and **complex table structure analysis**.
- **PP-ChatOCRv4**: Intelligent Document Understanding Extract Key Information, not just text from Images/PDFs.
1. 🔥 **15-point accuracy gain** in key-information extraction on PDF/PNG/JPG files over the previous generation.
2. 💻 Native support for **ERNIE 4.5 Turbo**, with compatibility for large-model deployments via PaddleNLP, Ollama, vLLM, and more.
3. 🤝 Integrated [PP-DocBee2](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleMIX/tree/develop/paddlemix/examples/ppdocbee2), enabling extraction and understanding of printed text, handwriting, seals, tables, charts, and other common elements in complex documents.
