Deep Learning OCR
Imagine a system that can instantly read hard-to-read text on shiny metal, faded plastic or broken labels – without you having to teach it how. It sounds like science fiction, but with Deep Learning OCR from Zebra Aurora Vision™, it’s already a reality. This technology is revolutionizing the way industry works with traceability, quality assurance and automation – and you can implement it without writing a line of code.
What is Deep Learning OCR?
Deep Learning OCR is the next generation technology for automatically reading and interpreting text from images or video streams. Unlike traditionalOptical Character Recognition (OCR) tools that require manual font training and careful settings, Deep Learning OCR relies on neural networks trained on large datasets of different fonts, text styles and environments.
The result is a system that is quick to implement, easy to use and extremely robust – even in tough, unpredictable conditions.
What is Zebra Aurora Vision?
Zebra Aurora Vision™ is a machine vision platform that enables the development of visual inspection systems for industrial applications. The software is used in the manufacturing, logistics, automotive, medical and packaging industries, among others.
Aurora Vision includes a powerful graphical programming interface where you can build visual flows using modules and filters – all without writing traditional code.
The platform offers support for, among others:

Example of use
The Zebra video demonstration shows how you can set up an OCR system in Aurora Vision Studio in just a few minutes. By loading an image stream, adding DL_ReadCharacters, and optionally using MergeCharactersIntoLines to structure the text, the OCR is up and running.
It is demonstrated how the system effortlessly copes:
- Dark text on light background (and vice versa)
- Plastic material with embossed text
- Reflective metal
- Text that is crooked, damaged or low-resolution
You’ll also learn how to adjust parameters to optimize performance – all within an intuitive user interface.
Why Deep Learning OCR is the future
If you’re looking for a solution that combines deep learning OCR, industry-class reliability, and rapid development time, Zebra Aurora is one of the most complete tools on the market.
Those looking for solutions such as “Deep Learning OCR for industry”, “OCR that does not require font training” or “automatic text recognition on difficult surfaces such as metal and plastic” are probably looking for a future-proof and AI-driven image analysis platform. Zebra Aurora Vision meets exactly these needs – with an out-of-the-box OCR solution that is powerful, flexible and ready to integrate into modern automation environments.
Executive summary
Zebra Aurora Vision™ with Deep Learning OCR provides businesses with a powerful, user-friendly and scalable text recognition solution – ready to meet the automation, quality and traceability challenges of today and tomorrow.
