Xunjie outperforms Tesseract on clean printed text but lags behind ABBYY on complex layouts and handwriting. Its speed is comparable to commercial tools. 5. Discussion Xunjie’s strength lies in its optimized Chinese character recognition , leveraging a built-in dictionary for common phrases. However, its table structure preservation is weaker than ABBYY, often merging cells incorrectly. For handwritten text, accuracy drops significantly unless users preprocess images (e.g., increase contrast). The software’s cloud-based version (Xunjie Online) offers higher accuracy (≈0.9% CER) but requires internet and raises data privacy concerns.
