What it does

Provides a C++ library of novel algorithms for building Advanced Literate Machinery, enabling applications that can read, understand, and generate structured text from visual inputs.

When to use it

•You need a high‑performance C++ engine to extract structured data from scanned documents or images.
•Your product must run offline or on‑premise without sending data to external cloud services.
•You want to extend or customize state‑of‑the‑art OCR and language‑understanding pipelines beyond generic APIs.

Ready-to-paste prompt

./bin/alm_demo --image ./data/invoice_example.jpg --output json > result.json

Heads up: The code depends on Alibaba’s internal OCR SDK; you must set the environment variable `ALIBABA_OCR_LICENSE` with a valid license key before building, otherwise the compilation will fail.
