 Since its initial release, PaddleOCR has gained widespread acclaim across academia, industry, and research communities, thanks to its cutting-edge algorithms and proven performance in real-world applications. It’s already powering popular open-source projects like Umi-OCR, OmniParser, MinerU, and RAGFlow, making it the go-to OCR toolkit for developers worldwide.
 
-On May 20, 2025, the PaddlePaddle team unveiled PaddleOCR 3.0, fully compatible with the official release of the [PaddlePaddle 3.0](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle) framework. This update further **boosts text-recognition accuracy**, adds support for **multiple text-type recognition** and **handwriting recognition**, and meets the growing demand from large-model applications for **high-precision parsing of complex documents**. When combined with the **ERNIE 4.5**, it significantly enhances key-information extraction accuracy. PaddleOCR 3.0 also introduces support for domestic hardware platforms such as **KUNLUNXIN** and **Ascend**.
