First experimental RC is ready.
GitHub
Release MakeACopy v4.0.0 · egdels/makeacopy
MakeACopy 4.0.0 New OCR engine: PaddleOCR v5 (paddle flavor) alongside Tesseract — pick per document Improved ONNX Runtime compatibility on Android by disabling SVE-specific builds
Please try one of the paddle-flavored release APKs from GitHub and enable Paddle OCR in the OCR settings screen.
This is still experimental, so feedback about OCR quality, crashes, slow devices, wrong recognition results or confusing UI behavior would be very helpful.
I’m still unsure how I should publish this on F-Droid and Google Play, since the app becomes significantly larger with PaddleOCR included.
