At Viewport.ai, we develop intelligent software for the process industry. Our software excels in making vast amounts of technical data understandable.

OCR Optimization

A crucial feature of our software is its ability to recognize text in scanned documents and technical drawings. These scans do not contain textual information in a traditional sense, requiring optical character recognition (OCR) to extract text from the scans.

Despite significant advancements in technology, OCR is not flawless! Comparing different OCR solutions (and configurations) is vital for achieving optimal results. Preliminary research indicates that there is no standard approach for testing OCR effectiveness. We aim to develop this testing framework and, if it does not involve disclosing customer data, make it available as an open-source project.

OCR Testing Framework Development

The testing framework is to be developed in .NET / C# to allow integration into our existing continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline. Your role is crucial in designing, developing, and optimizing this framework to compare various OCR solutions effectively.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Designing and developing a testing framework in .NET / C#.
  • Implementing and testing various OCR solutions and configurations within the framework.
  • Evaluating OCR solutions based on accuracy, efficiency, and integration capabilities.
  • Contributing to the integration of the testing framework into our CI/CD pipeline.

Requirements

  • A proactive and investigative mindset.
  • Experience in development with .NET / C#.
  • Interest in OCR technology and its applications in processing technical data.
  • The ability to work both independently and as part of a team.

What We Offer

  • A deep dive into OCR technology and its challenges and opportunities in the process industry.
  • The chance to contribute to an open-source project potentially.
  • Work alongside a team of experts in the field of software development for the process industry.
  • Free lunch, drinks, and fruit at the office.
  • An internship compensation of EUR 500 per month.
