Python modules implementing OCR-D specs and related tools
This repository contains the python packages that form the base for tools within the OCR-D ecosphere.
All packages are also published to PyPI.
NOTE Unless you want to contribute to OCR-D/core, we recommend installation as part of ocrd_all which installs a complete stack of OCR-D-related software.
The easiest way to install is via pip:
pip install ocrd
# or just the functionality you need, e.g.
pip install ocrd_modelfactory
All Python software released by OCR-D requires Python 3.8 or higher.
NOTE Some OCR-D-Tools (or even test cases) might reveal an unintended behavior if you have specific environment modifications, like:
NOTE: All OCR-D CLI tools support a --help flag which shows usage and
supported flags, options and arguments.
ocrd CLIocrd-dummy CLIA minimal OCR-D processor that copies from -I/-input-file-grp to -O/-output-file-grp
Almost all behaviour of the OCR-D/core software is configured via CLI options and flags, which can be listed with the --help flag that all CLI support.
Some parts of the software are configured via environment variables:
OCRD_METS_CACHING: If set to true, access to the METS file is cached, speeding in-memory search and modification.
OCRD_PROFILE: This variable configures the built-in CPU and memory profiling. If empty, no profiling is done. Otherwise expected to contain any of the following tokens:
CPU: Enable CPU profiling of processor runsRSS: Enable RSS memory profilingPSS: Enable proportionate memory profilingOCRD_PROFILE_FILE: If set, then the CPU profile is written to this file for later peruse with a analysis tools like snakeviz
PATH: Search path for processor executables (affects ocrd process and ocrd resmgr).
HOME: Directory to look for ocrd_logging.conf, fallback for unset XDG variables (see below).
XDG_CONFIG_HOME: Directory to look for ./ocrd/resources.yml (i.e. ocrd resmgr user database) – defaults to $HOME/.config.
XDG_DATA_HOME: Directory to look for ./ocrd-resources/* (i.e. ocrd resmgr data location) – defaults to $HOME/.local/share.
OCRD_DOWNLOAD_RETRIES: Number of times to retry failed attempts for downloads of workspace files.
OCRD_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT: Timeout in seconds for connecting or reading (comma-separated) when downloading.
OCRD_METS_CACHING: Whether to enable in-memory storage of OcrdMets data structures for speedup during processing or workspace operations.
OCRD_MAX_PROCESSOR_CACHE: Maximum number of processor instances (for each set of parameters) to be kept in memory (including loaded models) for processing workers or processor servers.
OCRD_NETWORK_SERVER_ADDR_PROCESSING: Default address of Processing Server to connect to (for ocrd network client processing).
OCRD_NETWORK_SERVER_ADDR_WORKFLOW: Default address of Workflow Server to connect to (for ocrd network client workflow).
OCRD_NETWORK_SERVER_ADDR_WORKSPACE: Default address of Workspace Server to connect to (for ocrd network client workspace).
OCRD_NETWORK_RABBITMQ_CLIENT_CONNECT_ATTEMPTS: Number of attempts for a worker to create its queue. Helpful if the rabbitmq-server needs time to be fully started.
Contains utilities and constants, e.g. for logging, path normalization, coordinate calculation etc.
See README for ocrd_utils for further information.
Contains file format wrappers for PAGE-XML, METS, EXIF metadata etc.
See README for ocrd_models for further information.
Code to instantiate models from existing data.
See README for ocrd_modelfactory for further information.
Schemas and routines for validating BagIt, ocrd-tool.json, workspaces, METS, page, CLI parameters etc.
See README for ocrd_validators for further information.
Components related to OCR-D Web API
See README for ocrd_network for further information.
Depends on all of the above, also contains decorators and classes for creating OCR-D processors and CLIs.
Also contains the command line tool ocrd.
See README for ocrd for further information.
Builds a bash script that can be sourced by other bash scripts to create OCRD-compliant CLI.
See README for bashlib for further information.

OCR-D framework
We found that ocrd demonstrated a healthy version release cadence and project activity because the last version was released less than a year ago. It has 3 open source maintainers collaborating on the project.
