The post details the full pipeline: CRAFT-based text detection, a custom bounding box grouping algorithm that handles rotated text and reduces box count by 33%, and a multi-scale CRNN recognizer with three fixed input widths (128, 256, 512px). Key mobile constraints addressed include fixed input dimensions, limited RAM, and restricted compute. A dual-pass vertical OCR mode is also introduced for reading vertically arranged text and serial codes. Currently English-only, with multi-language support planned for v0.4.0. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
