Light C++ OCR could lower document-reading cost for agents

-ncnn-CPP lets PP-OCR v3 through v6 models run from C++. The official Paddle C++ runtime can be heavy because it depends on many parts and can be hard to ship. This version uses ncnn for , which can make the setup lighter.

In the shared use case, it also runs faster. The practical goal is simpler for apps that need to read text from images or documents.

Key points

  • It supports PP-OCR v3 through v6 models in C++.
  • It avoids the heavier official Paddle C++ runtime path.
  • It uses ncnn for a lighter setup.
  • Local OCR can reduce how much raw image content an agent needs to process.
  • Accuracy should be checked on real documents before use.
