Abstract

A system and method for computing confidence in an output of a text recognition system includes performing character recognition on an input text image with a text recognition system to generate a candidate string of characters. A first representation is generated, based on the candidate string of characters, and a second representation is generated based on the input text image. A confidence in the candidate string of characters is computed based on a computed similarity between the first and second representations in a common embedding space.
