Character Error Rate leaderboard for optical character recognition systems evaluated on a mixed corpus of scanned documents, receipts, printed pages, and multilingual samples. Lower CER means fewer substituted, inserted, or deleted characters relative to ground truth.
Levenshtein-distance-based character error rate; lower is better.
Lower is better
Muted rows were not state of the art when published — an earlier or same-year result already scored better.
