Tesseract OCR

Tesseract-OCR is the open-source optical character recognition (OCR) engine for the conversion of text within images to raw text output. This test profile relies upon a system-supplied Tesseract installation.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark system/tesseract-ocr.

Analyze Test Configuration:

Tesseract OCR v4.0.0.20181030

Time To OCR 7 Images

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 101 public results since 19 December 2018 with the latest data as of 4 November 2024.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.

Detailed Performance Overview

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (Tesseract OCR v4.0.0.20181030 - Time To OCR 7 Images) has an average run-time of 7 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.

Based on public OpenBenchmarking.org results, the selected test / test configuration has an average standard deviation of 0.8%.
