TrOCR: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices

End-to-end text recognition approach with pre-trained image transformer and text transformer models for both image understanding and wordpiece-level text generation.

This is based on the implementation of TrOCR found here. This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the Qualcomm® AI Hub Models library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found here.

Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. Sign up to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.

Getting Started

There are two ways to deploy this model on your device:

Option 1: Download Pre-Exported Models

Below are pre-exported model assets ready for deployment.

Runtime	Precision	Chipset	SDK Versions	Download
ONNX	float	Universal	QAIRT 2.42, ONNX Runtime 1.24.3	Download
QNN_DLC	float	Universal	QAIRT 2.45	Download
TFLITE	float	Universal	QAIRT 2.45	Download

For more device-specific assets and performance metrics, visit TrOCR on Qualcomm® AI Hub.

Option 2: Export with Custom Configurations

Use the Qualcomm® AI Hub Models Python library to compile and export the model with your own:

Custom weights (e.g., fine-tuned checkpoints)
Custom input shapes
Target device and runtime configurations

This option is ideal if you need to customize the model beyond the default configuration provided here.

See our repository for TrOCR on GitHub for usage instructions.
