## EasyOCR2 vs EasyOCR

* **EasyOCR2** gives better results than **EasyOCR** when dealing with:
  * Unknown text rotation.
  * Dotted or fragmented characters.
  * Non-uniform illumination or textured backgrounds.
  * Complex text topologies.
* When you have the TrueType font files that match the text, you can use these font files directly with **EasyOCR2** for the recognition, while you cannot do it with **EasyOCR**.
* Using the provided pretrained classifiers, **EasyOCR2** can perform the recognition without any preliminary training.
