This tutorial lists the text detection algorithms and text recognition algorithms supported by PaddleOCR, as well as the models and metrics of each algorithm on **English public datasets**. It is mainly used for algorithm introduction and algorithm performance comparison. For more models on other datasets including Chinese, please refer to [PP-OCR v1.1 models list](./models_list_en.md).
**Note：** Additional data, like icdar2013, icdar2017, COCO-Text, ArT, was added to the model training of SAST. Download English public dataset in organized format used by PaddleOCR from [Baidu Drive](https://pan.baidu.com/s/12cPnZcVuV1zn5DOd4mqjVw) (download code: 2bpi).
For the training guide and use of PaddleOCR text detection algorithms, please refer to the document [Text detection model training/evaluation/prediction](./doc/doc_en/detection_en.md)

### 2. Text Recognition Algorithm
PaddleOCR open-source text recognition algorithms list:
Refer to [DTRB](https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.01906), the training and evaluation result of these above text recognition (using MJSynth and SynthText for training, evaluate on IIIT, SVT, IC03, IC13, IC15, SVTP, CUTE) is as follow:
**Note：** SRN model uses data expansion method to expand the two training sets mentioned above, and the expanded data can be downloaded from [Baidu Drive](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1-HSZ-ZVdqBF2HaBZ5pRAKA) (download code: y3ry).
The average accuracy of the two-stage training in the original paper is 89.74%, and that of one stage training in paddleocr is 88.33%. Both pre-trained weights can be downloaded [here](https://paddleocr.bj.bcebos.com/SRN/rec_r50fpn_vd_none_srn.tar).
