Fine-tuned TrOCR Model for Portuguese

This repository contains a fine-tuned TrOCR model specifically trained for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on Portuguese text. It's based on the microsoft/trocr-base-printed model and has been further trained on a dataset of Portuguese text images.

Model Description

The model is a VisionEncoderDecoderModel from the Hugging Face Transformers library. It combines a vision encoder (to process images) and a text decoder (to generate text) for OCR tasks.

• —Base Model: microsoft/trocr-base-printed
• —Fine-tuning Dataset: mazafard/portuguesocrdataset_full
• —Language: Portuguese

Intended Use

This model is intended for extracting text from images containing Portuguese text. It can be used for various applications, such as:

• —Digitizing Portuguese books and documents
• —Automating data entry from Portuguese forms and invoices
• —Extracting information from Portuguese screenshots or scanned images

How to Use

1. Install Dependencies:

bash pip install transformers datasets Pillow requests

2. Load the Model and Processor:

python from transformers import VisionEncoderDecoderModel, TrOCRProcessor from PIL import Image

model = VisionEncoderDecoderModel.from_pretrained("mazafard/trocr-finetuned_20250422_125947") 
processor = TrOCRProcessor.from_pretrained("mazafard/trocr-finetuned_20250422_125947") 

image = Image.open("path/to/your/image.png").convert("RGB")

pixel_values = processor(image, return_tensors="pt").pixel_values

Generate prediction
generated_ids = model.generate(pixel_values) generated_text = processor.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]

print(generated_text)

Limitations

• —The model may not perform well on handwritten text or text with unusual fonts or styles.
• —It might make mistakes on complex layouts or images with low quality.
