Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a system and method for optical character recognition. In one embodiment, a system receives an image depicting text. The system extracts features from the image using a feature extractor. The system applies a first decoder to the features to generate a first intermediary output. The system applies a second decoder to the features to generate a second intermediary output, wherein the feature extractor is common to the first decoder and the second decoder. The system determines a first quality metric value for the first intermediary output and a second quality metric value for the second intermediary output based on a language model. Responsive to determining that the first quality metric value is greater than the second quality metric value, the system selects the first intermediary output to represent the text.
