trocr-base-printed

TrOCR-base-printed is a transformer-based optical character recognition (OCR) model designed specifically for printed text. Unlike traditional OCR pipelines that rely on separate text detection and recognition stages, TrOCR leverages a vision transformer (ViT) encoder and a language model decoder to map image patches directly to text sequences. This end-to-end architecture makes it particularly effective for high-accuracy transcription of documents, labels, and digitized archives. For developers, it offers a streamlined integration path via the Hugging Face ecosystem, providing a robust alternative to Tesseract or cloud-based OCR APIs when local deployment and Apache-2.0 licensing are priorities.

We recommend using the ModelScope CLI or SDK. Install ModelScope first, then choose a full snapshot, single file, SDK or Git LFS workflow.

This entry points to Hugging Face. The commands use the matching ModelScope repository format; confirm that the repository exists on ModelScope before running them. Model repository: microsoft/trocr-base-printed
Install ModelScope

Install the CLI and SDK dependency before downloading.

pip install modelscope
Download the full model repository

Download the complete weights, configuration and model card.

modelscope download --model microsoft/trocr-base-printed
Download one file to a local directory

README.md is used as an example; replace it with another repository file when needed.

modelscope download --model microsoft/trocr-base-printed README.md --local_dir ./dir
Download with the SDK

Useful in Python projects and automation scripts.

from modelscope import snapshot_download
model_dir = snapshot_download('microsoft/trocr-base-printed')
Clone with Git

Make sure Git LFS is installed correctly.

git lfs install
git clone https://www.modelscope.cn/microsoft/trocr-base-printed.git
Clone without downloading LFS blobs

Fetch the repository structure first, then pull large files when needed.
