# RapidOCR model mirror (watts-ai)

A **verbatim mirror** of a small subset of the [RapidAI/RapidOCR](https://www.modelscope.cn/models/RapidAI/RapidOCR)
model files, re-hosted on Hugging Face so that downstream services can fetch the
weights from Hugging Face instead of `modelscope.cn`.

The files here are **byte-for-byte copies** of the corresponding files in the
upstream ModelScope repository at tag `v3.8.0`. No files were modified. The
relative paths are preserved, so a URL such as

```
https://www.modelscope.cn/models/RapidAI/RapidOCR/resolve/v3.8.0/torch/PP-OCRv4/rec/latin_PP-OCRv3_rec_mobile.pth
```

maps to

```
https://huggingface.co/watts-ai/RapidOCR/resolve/main/v3.8.0/torch/PP-OCRv4/rec/latin_PP-OCRv3_rec_mobile.pth
```

## Contents

Only the files needed by the Latin-script torch OCR pipeline are mirrored:

| Path | SHA256 | Purpose |
|------|--------|---------|
| `v3.8.0/torch/PP-OCRv4/det/en_PP-OCRv3_det_mobile.pth` | `62aba369…d5c139ec92b34c8ac7b9ba7c2846` | English text detection |
| `v3.8.0/torch/PP-OCRv4/rec/latin_PP-OCRv3_rec_mobile.pth` | `caf8e0f2…2b69f30258c15bf90` | Latin-script text recognition |
| `v3.8.0/torch/PP-OCRv4/cls/ch_ptocr_mobile_v2.0_cls_mobile.pth` | `bfe13860…13f60c98e1` | Text-line orientation classifier |
| `v3.8.0/paddle/PP-OCRv4/rec/latin_PP-OCRv3_rec_mobile/latin_dict.txt` | `8e6d4e36…34429e2c` | Latin recognition character dictionary |

The SHA256 values match those pinned in RapidOCR's `default_models.yaml`.
