While Tesseract has had some major improvements over the last few years, I still find that it performs much worse than the (paid) computer vision APIs offered by Google, Azure and AWS.

Does anyone have recommendations for other open source OCR engines?

The short answer: nope. It's a bit like speech recognition and synthesis. The open source stuff never matches up to commercial grades services by AWS and Google.
