# FunASR vs PaddleOCR

FunASR and PaddleOCR share 9 technologies: FastAPI, uvicorn, lifecycle-runtime-ktx, constraintlayout, ui-graphics, sentencepiece, onnxruntime, ONNX, and beautifulsoup4. FunASR is written in Python and PaddleOCR in C++.

- [modelscope/FunASR](https://seerepo.com/r/modelscope/FunASR): Open-source speech recognition toolkit for training, inference, streaming ASR, VAD, punctuation, speaker diarization pipelines, and OpenAI-compatible/MCP serving.
- [PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR](https://seerepo.com/r/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR): Turn any PDF or image document into structured data for your AI. A powerful, lightweight OCR toolkit that bridges the gap between images/PDFs and LLMs. Supports 100+ languages.

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: FastAPI, uvicorn, lifecycle-runtime-ktx, constraintlayout, ui-graphics, sentencepiece, onnxruntime, ONNX, beautifulsoup4
- Only in FunASR: androidx.core:core-ktx, Flask, activity-compose, Google, material3, ui, androidx.appcompat:appcompat, torch, librosa, ModelScope, funasr-onnx, markdown, YamlDotNet, Microsoft.Extensions.Logging, openclaw
- Only in PaddleOCR: Jetpack Compose, core-ktx, AIOHTTP, fonttools, appcompat, opencv-python, MCP, LangChain, coil-compose, pypandoc, python-docx, pillow, puremagic, Pydantic, js-yaml

## Side by side

| | FunASR | PaddleOCR |

| Who writes it | 3.3% of its commits signed by AI. With Codex, Claude Code, and Gemini CLI | 0.3% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot |
| Activity | Last push November 5, 2026, 4,986 commits, 20,948 stars | Last push September 16, 2026, 5,137 commits, 92,256 stars |
| Tests | 202 test files. 0.9% of its code files have a test that imports them | 105 test files. 11% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
