Settings for PPTextRec. Values fall back through three levels: document → SDK → built-in default. Writes target the document only when set on a document's settings, otherwise the SDK globally when set on SdkSettings.

**Tags:** `Vision`, `Advanced`

```python

from nutrient_sdk import PPTextRecSettings

```

## Construction

`PPTextRecSettings` is accessed through a [`Document`](/api/python/document/) instance for per-document overrides, or via [`SdkSettings`](/api/python/settings/document/sdk-settings/) for SDK-wide defaults.

```python

# Per-document override

with Document.open("input.pdf") as doc:
    settings = doc.settings.pp_text_rec_settings
    settings.some_field = new_value          # mutate fields directly

# SDK-wide default (applies to all documents)

SdkSettings.pp_text_rec_settings.some_field = new_value

```

Settings are configured by writing to fields on the returned object. The settings property itself cannot be reassigned — `doc.settings.pp_text_rec_settings = other_settings` is rejected.

## Properties

### batch_size

```python

@property
def batch_size(self) -> int

@batch_size.setter
def batch_size(self, value: int) -> None

```

Batch size for text recognition inference. Higher values improve GPU throughput but require more memory. CPU execution is automatically limited to batches of 16. Set to 1 to disable batching (process one image at a time).

**Type:** `int`

**Default:** `64`

---

### config_path

```python

@property
def config_path(self) -> str

@config_path.setter
def config_path(self, value: str) -> None

```

Path to the generated, line-delimited PP-OCRv5 recognition dictionary.

**Type:** `str`

**Default:** `GetDefaultDictionaryPath()`

---

### max_image_width

```python

@property
def max_image_width(self) -> int

@max_image_width.setter
def max_image_width(self, value: int) -> None

```

Maximum width for text images

**Type:** `int`

**Default:** `3200`

---

### model_path

```python

@property
def model_path(self) -> str

@model_path.setter
def model_path(self, value: str) -> None

```

Path to the encrypted PP-OCRv5 recognition model.

**Type:** `str`

**Default:** `GetDefaultModelPath()`

---

### use_cpu_only

```python

@property
def use_cpu_only(self) -> bool

@use_cpu_only.setter
def use_cpu_only(self, value: bool) -> None

```

Enable CPU mode for ONNX Runtime. When true, forces CPU execution. When false, uses default providers.

**Type:** `bool`

**Default:** `false`
