Documents today are more diverse in layout, multilingual in content, and variable in quality than ever before. <strong>Surya</strong> represents a modern approach to OCR, built on deep learning architectures that handle the complexity of real-world documents with accuracy that traditional engines cannot match.</p> <p>Developed by the datalab-to team (the same group behind Marker), Surya is designed as both a standalone OCR system and a component for larger document processing pipelines. It provides three core capabilities: text detection (finding where text is on a page), text recognition (reading what it says), and layout analysis (understanding the document structure). The unified architecture means that a single model handles text across dozens of scripts and languages.</p>
