Just watched some of your previous tf videos, and man was I blown away by how you didn't already have at least a million subs. Keep up the awesome work!

This guy deserves more subs! One of the best content creator in the ML space.

Hi nick, I love your videos because of how detailed you are. Since I discovered your channel I have never been the same because I have learned a lot from your teaching method and technical stuff on AI and deep learning. Kudos to you for your effort to impart knowledge.

[@leoletchoum]

I love the video thanks Nick! Something that might be useful for Mac users is adding the following option at the beginning of step 2: ocr_model = PaddleOCR(lang=‘en’, use_gpu=False) Tested it on MBP Intel and worked like a charm with impressive accuracy :-)

[@NicholasRenotte]

Ha, that's awesome. Thanks so much for sharing my guy!!

So if i have font file but language is old forgotten one from 500s, can I still train OCR with that font which I have for that language? Purpose is to digitilize books from museum

@NicholasRenotte Is there any option like paddle OCR can we create custom OCR model and application from scratch, what are the steps has to be done from your thoughts.

[@yohannesabrha6823]

Great Presentation and work. did you try to train it by using your own datasets ?

by the way, i think this video is created a weeks ago because there has been certain changes in the stable release and code would have to be modified accordingly

Hey, I saw your TensorFlow object detection API video. I have a query to ask. I want to know how to visualize the custom trained model & how we can edit these layers for creating a new model.

[@NicholasRenotte]

Not possible to dive into the underlying layers with the TFOD API afaik. Can fine tune if needed but added explicit layers using keras for example isn't possible .

[@dinugakasun5218]

superb video, but I have a question, is there any possible way to extract texts from only specific parts of an image, for example. I have an image of the license card, I need to extract only the name and address. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@gisellepena7927]

Same question.

[@NicholasRenotte]

You can isolate that part of the frame and pass that through to the OCR model. This is a little trickier though particularly if that region is going to be in a different location each time.

Thanks for posting. It's not directly related but perhaps you/others can share ideas on how to solve something I've been struggling with: in a supermarket, how to identify what price belongs to what product? Once the above is clear, the OCR solution would fit perfectly.

[@NicholasRenotte]

Kinda tricky, first up, this would be a HUGE model. One approach could be to classify the products with an image could classify the products.....actually wait, do you need to map the physical photos of the products to prices?
