Carmenta: pure-Rust OCR engine
Pure-Rust OCR — documents, screens, and live frames — the OCR engine inside FFAI, standalone
Replaces: Tesseract / PaddleOCR
What is Carmenta, the pure-Rust OCR engine?
Carmenta is pure-Rust OCR for documents, screens, and live frames. It is the OCR engine inside FFAI, and it is published standalone so a program can read text without Tesseract or PaddleOCR.
What Carmenta replaces
Carmenta is the pure-Rust OCR engine for documents, screens, and live frames. It is the OCR engine inside FFAI, and it stands alone when OCR is the only job.
Why Carmenta is a pure-Rust OCR engine
What Carmenta keeps from Tesseract / PaddleOCR
Carmenta keeps reading text out of an image. Tesseract and PaddleOCR are the tools it replaces. The input is still a document, a screen, or a live frame.
Where Carmenta fits
Carmenta pairs with Mercury inside FFAI: one engine for speech, one for text in an image. Diana is the neighbor when the job is finding objects instead of reading letters.
