+# Add this line if your paddleocr_models directory is large and you want to ensure LFS is used for it.
+# It's good practice even if individual files inside are already LFS tracked.
+# You might need to adjust if your models are not LFS tracked at the folder level.
+# For now, since individual model files are LFS tracked, this might not be strictly necessary
+# but can be a good general practice for model directories.

+# My PaddleOCR Demo Application
+
+This is a web application that uses PaddleOCR to perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on uploaded images.
+It's built with Gradio and deployed on Hugging Face Spaces.
+
+The application uses bundled PaddleOCR models for English, managed with Git LFS to ensure fast startup and avoid re-downloads.
+
+## How to Use
+1. Upload an image using the interface.
+2. The extracted text and the image with bounding boxes will be displayed.
