decimen-optical-transfer: The Trending Open-Source Tool for High-Precision Numeric OCR

decimen-optical-transfer, an open-source OCR project on GitHub, is drawing attention for reading numbers rather than general text.

It claims strong accuracy on printed and handwritten numeric content, plus normalization for different number formats and table-aware extraction.

The tool is designed for lightweight deployment with ONNX Runtime, with an optional PyTorch backend.

It may cut manual cleanup and errors in workflows that extract figures from scans, invoices, financial statements, and scientific docs.
