This project uses PaddleOCR, a deep-learning-based OCR engine that provides:

• Higher accuracy than traditional OCR tools like pytesseract
• Better performance on noisy and complex images
• Strong support for structured text extraction

PaddleOCR replaces the earlier pytesseract-based pipeline for improved reliability.
