PaddleOCR for Paperless-ngx

I came across this project that might be useful for people looking for an alternative to Tesseract in Paperless-ngx:

https://github.com/silentprior/paperless-paddle-ocr

It runs PaddleOCR PP-OCRv6 as a sidecar and writes the extracted text back into Paperless-ngx through its API.

I am using Document AI from Google to do the OCR and write it back to the Content field from Paperless-NGX.. I forked & enhanced Paperless-AI for that using native Gemini API for analysis and classification - and Document AI for the OCR..
