OCR speed and threading

Post by stammd » Thu Jan 19, 2017 7:45 pm

In using the OCRTesseractDoOCR() method I see it does not take a threading argument like OcrPages() does. Is there any way to enable OCRTesseractDoOCR() to take full advantage of the hardware cores available on a server to speed the processing?

I am seeing times of 7-9 seconds per page to do the OCRTesseractDoOCR() call. Is this normal?

Hello,

No it is not possible. The only way to use multi-threading is to run different ocr processes asynchronously. This is what OcrPages does. You can also decrease the processing time by
setting the number of passes: Use 0 for automatic (default value). Use 1 to obtain the best speed. Use 2 to favor accuracy (slower).
