## Useful for

- Convert a scanned document into a searchable PDF with a text layer
- Extract text from screenshots or photos in one of 100+ languages
- Embed libtesseract into your app via the C/C++ API or language wrappers

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-03 (UTC), 00:36–13:55: 77302 → 77313 stars (+11). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +19 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- About 8 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 10,899
- Issues and pull requests: 4,595
- Watchers: 1,709
- Average over the last week: 20 per day
- Usual pace: 19 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 0
- Latest release: 5.5.4 (2026-10-28)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
Data as of 2026-11-03 14:05 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
