Summary
TurboOCR dramatically increases OCR processing speed from ~15 img/s (PaddleOCR) or ~2 img/s (VLM-based) to 270-1200 img/s by leveraging Paddle with TensorRT, C++/CUDA, and FP16. This innovation directly addresses the critical bottleneck of throughput and cost when processing massive document volumes, such as nearly a million PDFs. It offers a high-performance solution for large-scale OCR tasks where more complex VLM approaches prove too slow and expensive.
