Baidu OCR
Beijing, China
What it is
Baidu OCR recognizes text in images, including printed and handwritten documents, with more than 70 capabilities for different industries and scenarios. Its structured recognition covers identity cards, bank cards, business licenses, household registers, passports, and transport documents. Baidu says recognition of general text and major certificates and receipts exceeds 98% accuracy. Organizations can connect to its public cloud through online APIs or HTTP SDKs, or use an offline SDK in mobile devices such as phones, cameras, and law-enforcement recorders. Private deployment is available on local servers or a private cloud; Docker packages support CPU or GPU environments and domestic operating systems. Baidu says this setup keeps processing within a dedicated network without sending data to the public internet. After real-name verification, General OCR Standard offers 1,000 free monthly calls for personal accounts or 2,000 for enterprise accounts. The service is paid, with no free plan, and a shared resource package costs CN¥330, paid once.
