## Introduction
This offers a OCR-D compliant workspace processor for some of the functionality of Calamari OCR.
This processor only operates on the text line level and so needs a line segmentation (and by extension a binarized
image) as its input.
In addition to the line text it also outputs glyph segmentation including
per-glyph confidence values and per-glyph alternative predictions as provided
by the Calamari OCR engine. Note that while Calamari does not provide word
segmentation, this processor produces word segmentation inferred from Unicode
text segmentation and the glyph positions. The provided glyph and word
segmentation can be used for text extraction and highlighting, but is probably
not useful for further image-based processing.
## Installation
### From PyPI
```
pip install ocrd_calamari
```
### From Repo
```sh
pip install .
```
## Install models
Download models trained on GT4HistOCR data:
```
make gt4histocr-calamari
ls gt4histocr-calamari
```
