OCR Marimo Notebooks

This repository includes a few Marimo notebooks that contain Python scripts that aim to showcase how to quickly run and test some of the OCR tools locally that utilize lightweight CPU-based models.

How to Run Marimo Notebooks

You need to make sure that uv, the Python package and project manager, is installed on your system. Then, to run the notebook for a certain OCR tool, you need to navigate to the associated directory in the terminal and then follow these steps:

Run the following command, which will create a virtual environment within the same directory and will install the required packages listed in pyproject.toml.

uv sync

Then, you need to activate the virtual environment:

Windows:

./.venv/Scripts/activate

Linux:

source venv/bin/activate

Now, it's time to run the notebook with one of the following modes:

Edit mode, where you can modify and tinker with the code:

marimo edit {notebook_name}

Application mode, where you can only view and interact with the notebook.

marimo run {notebook_name}
