There is a post about PaddleOCR and tesseract. https://converter.app/blog/paddleocr-engine-example-and-benchmark
In my test, the effects of PaddleOCR and tesseract are similar in general scenes. The disadvantages of PaddleOCR is missing white spaces between two or three words. But PaddleOCR characters are more accurate.
For your desired scenario: the license plate scene, PaddleOCR is significantly better than tesseract.
Another, PaddleOCR not only open-sources the OCR model, but also the model training method.
