I joined Google this year. Google permits me to spend time on the OCRopus project and contribute. As part of this, I moved the project to Github, because it's easier to maintain there.
I just pushed out a new update of ocropy. This includes mainly faster/smaller saving of models, as well as a C++ implementation of the LSTM network. The C++ LSTM implementation is a pretty straightforward port of the Python version and runs much faster. The C++ classes have been wrapped as Python classes and are callable from Python. There are two new top-level drivers, ocropus-ltrain and ocropus-lpred, for the C++ implementation. The C++ implementation appears to be numerically close to the Python implementation and yield good recognizers when trained, but it requires more testing. As before, this is research-level software with minimal documentation (do look at the iPython Notebooks, the .ipynb files, since they contain significant information). Feel free to contribute patches, documentation, etc. using the usual Github mechanisms of merge requests. I'll try to incorporate them as time permits.
