Introduction

dots.ocr is a powerful, multilingual document parser that unifies layout detection and content recognition within a single vision-language model while maintaining good reading order. Despite its compact 1.7B-parameter LLM foundation, it achieves state-of-the-art(SOTA) performance.

Powerful Performance: dots.ocr achieves SOTA performance for text, tables, and reading order on OmniDocBench, while delivering formula recognition results comparable to much larger models like Doubao-1.5 and gemini2.5-pro.
Multilingual Support: dots.ocr demonstrates robust parsing capabilities for low-resource languages, achieving decisive advantages across both layout detection and content recognition on our in-house multilingual documents benchmark.
Unified and Simple Architecture: By leveraging a single vision-language model, dots.ocr offers a significantly more streamlined architecture than conventional methods that rely on complex, multi-model pipelines. Switching between tasks is accomplished simply by altering the input prompt, proving that a VLM can achieve competitive detection results compared to traditional detection models like DocLayout-YOLO.
Efficient and Fast Performance: Built upon a compact 1.7B LLM, dots.ocr provides faster inference speeds than many other high-performing models based on larger foundations.

Performance Comparison: dots.ocr vs. Competing Models

Notes:

The EN, ZH metrics are the end2end evaluation results of OmniDocBench, and Multilingual metric is the end2end evaluation results of dots.ocr-bench.

# Quick Start
## 1. Installation
### Install dots.ocr

shell

conda create -n dots_ocr python=3.12 conda activate dots_ocr

git clone https://github.com/rednote-hilab/dots.ocr.git cd dots.ocr

Install pytorch, see https://pytorch.org/get-started/previous-versions/ for your cuda version

pip install torch==2.7.0 torchvision==0.22.0 torchaudio==2.7.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128 pip install -e .


If you have trouble with the installation, try our [Docker Image](https://hub.docker.com/r/rednotehilab/dots.ocr) for an easier setup, and follow these steps:

shell git clone https://github.com/rednote-hilab/dots.ocr.git cd dots.ocr pip install -e .



### Download Model Weights
> 💡**Note:** Please use a directory name without periods (e.g., `DotsOCR` instead of `dots.ocr`) for the model save path. This is a temporary workaround pending our integration with Transformers.

shell python3 tools/download_model.py

with modelscope

python3 tools/download_model.py --type modelscope



## 2. Deployment
### vLLM inference
We highly recommend using vllm for deployment and inference. All of our evaluations results are based on vllm version 0.9.1.
The [Docker Image](https://hub.docker.com/r/rednotehilab/dots.ocr) is based on the official vllm image. You can also follow [Dockerfile](https://github.com/rednote-hilab/dots.ocr/blob/master/docker/Dockerfile) to build the deployment environment by yourself.

shell

You need to register model to vllm at first

python3 tools/download_model.py export hf_model_path=./weights/DotsOCR # Path to your downloaded model weights, Please use a directory name without periods (e.g., DotsOCR instead of dots.ocr) for the model save path. This is a temporary workaround pending our integration with Transformers. export PYTHONPATH=$(dirname "$hf_model_path"):$PYTHONPATH sed -i '/^from vllm.entrypoints.cli.main import main$/a\ from DotsOCR import modeling_dots_ocr_vllm' which vllm # If you downloaded model weights by yourself, please replace DotsOCR by your model saved directory name, and remember to use a directory name without periods (e.g., DotsOCR instead of dots.ocr)

launch vllm server

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 vllm serve ${hf_model_path} --tensor-parallel-size 1 --gpu-memory-utilization 0.95 --chat-template-content-format string --served-model-name model --trust-remote-code

If you get a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'DotsOCR', please check the note above on the saved model directory name.

vllm api demo

python3 ./demo/demo_vllm.py --prompt_mode prompt_layout_all_en


### Hugginface inference

shell python3 demo/demo_hf.py


<details>
<summary><b>Hugginface inference details</b></summary>

python import torch from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoProcessor, AutoTokenizer from qwen_vl_utils import process_vision_info from dots_ocr.utils import dict_promptmode_to_prompt

model_path = "./weights/DotsOCR" model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(

model_path,
attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
device_map="auto",

Bbox format: [x1, y1, x2, y2]
Layout Categories: The possible categories are ['Caption', 'Footnote', 'Formula', 'List-item', 'Page-footer', 'Page-header', 'Picture', 'Section-header', 'Table', 'Text', 'Title'].
Text Extraction & Formatting Rules:
- Picture: For the 'Picture' category, the text field should be omitted.
- Formula: Format its text as LaTeX.
- Table: Format its text as HTML.
- All Others (Text, Title, etc.): Format their text as Markdown.
Constraints:
- The output text must be the original text from the image, with no translation.
- All layout elements must be sorted according to human reading order.
Final Output: The entire output must be a single JSON object. """

messages = [

    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {
                "type": "image",

            },
            {"type": "text", "text": prompt}
        ]
    }
]

Preparation for inference

text = processor.apply_chat_template(

messages, 
tokenize=False, 
add_generation_prompt=True

) image_inputs, video_inputs = process_vision_info(messages) inputs = processor(

text=[text],
images=image_inputs,
videos=video_inputs,
padding=True,
return_tensors="pt",

)

inputs = inputs.to("cuda")

Inference: Generation of the output

generated_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=24000) generated_ids_trimmed = [

out_ids[len(in_ids) :] for in_ids, out_ids in zip(inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)

] output_text = processor.batch_decode(

generated_ids_trimmed, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False

) print(output_text)

Please refer to [CPU inference](https://github.com/rednote-hilab/dots.ocr/issues/1#issuecomment-3148962536)


## 3. Document Parse
**Based on vLLM server**, you can parse an image or a pdf file using the following commands:

bash

Parse all layout info, both detection and recognition

Parse a single image

python3 dots_ocr/parser.py demo/demo_image1.jpg

Parse a single PDF

python3 dots_ocr/parser.py demo/demo_pdf1.pdf --num_thread 64 # try bigger num_threads for pdf with a large number of pages

Layout detection only

python3 dots_ocr/parser.py demo/demo_image1.jpg --prompt prompt_layout_only_en

Parse text only, except Page-header and Page-footer

python3 dots_ocr/parser.py demo/demo_image1.jpg --prompt prompt_ocr

Parse layout info by bbox

python3 dots_ocr/parser.py demo/demo_image1.jpg --prompt prompt_grounding_ocr --bbox 163 241 1536 705

**Based on Transformers**, you can parse an image or a pdf file using the same commands above, just add `--use_hf true`. 

> Notice: transformers is slower than vllm, if you want to use demo/* with transformers，just add `use_hf=True` in `DotsOCRParser(..,use_hf=True)`

<details>
<summary><b>Output Results</b></summary>

1.  **Structured Layout Data** (`demo_image1.json`): A JSON file containing the detected layout elements, including their bounding boxes, categories, and extracted text.
2.  **Processed Markdown File** (`demo_image1.md`): A Markdown file generated from the concatenated text of all detected cells.
    *   An additional version, `demo_image1_nohf.md`, is also provided, which excludes page headers and footers for compatibility with benchmarks like Omnidocbench and olmOCR-bench.
3.  **Layout Visualization** (`demo_image1.jpg`): The original image with the detected layout bounding boxes drawn on it.

Limitation & Future Work

Complex Document Elements:
- Table&Formula: dots.ocr is not yet perfect for high-complexity tables and formula extraction.
- Picture: Pictures in documents are currently not parsed.
Parsing Failures: The model may fail to parse under certain conditions:
- When the character-to-pixel ratio is excessively high. Try enlarging the image or increasing the PDF parsing DPI (a setting of 200 is recommended). However, please note that the model performs optimally on images with a resolution under 11289600 pixels.
- Continuous special characters, such as ellipses (...) and underscores (_), may cause the prediction output to repeat endlessly. In such scenarios, consider using alternative prompts like prompt_layout_only_en, prompt_ocr, or prompt_grounding_ocr (details here).
Performance Bottleneck: Despite its 1.7B parameter LLM foundation, dots.ocr is not yet optimized for high-throughput processing of large PDF volumes.

We are committed to achieving more accurate table and formula parsing, as well as enhancing the model's OCR capabilities for broader generalization, all while aiming for a more powerful, more efficient model. Furthermore, we are actively considering the development of a more general-purpose perception model based on Vision-Language Models (VLMs), which would integrate general detection, image captioning, and OCR tasks into a unified framework. Parsing the content of the pictures in the documents is also a key priority for our future work. We believe that collaboration is the key to tackling these exciting challenges. If you are passionate about advancing the frontiers of document intelligence and are interested in contributing to these future endeavors, we would love to hear from you.
