It's not bad! But it still hallucinates. Here's an example of an (admittedly difficult) image: https://i.imgur.com/jcwW5AG.jpeg For the blocks in the center, it outputs: > Claude, duc de Saint-Simon, pair et chevalier des ordres, gouverneur de Blaye, Senlis, etc., né le 16 août 1607 , 3 mai 1693 ; ép. 1○, le 26 septembre 1644, Diane - Henriette de Budos de Portes, morte le 2 décembre 1670; 2○, le 17 octobre 1672, Cha…
I want to rejoice that OCR is now a "solved" problem, but I feel like hallucinations are just as problematic as the kind of stuff I have to put up with tesseract -- both require careful manual proofreading for an acceptable degree of confidence. I guess I'll have to try it and see for myself just how much better these solutions are for my public domain archive.org Latin language reader & textbook projects.

possibly doing both & diffing the output to spot contested bits?

If a lot of scientific papers have been pdf's and hitherto had bad conversions to text/tokens, can we expect to see major gains in our training and therefore better outputs?

> This is perfect! Just a nit, but I wouldn’t call it perfect when using U+25CB ○ WHITE CIRCLE instead of what should be U+00BA º MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR, or alternatively a superscript “o”. These are https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverbe_ordinal#Premiers_adver... . There’s also extra spaces after the “1607” and around the hyphen in “Diane-Henriette”. Lastly, U+2019 instead of U+0027 would be more appropriate for…
- Referenced Vision 2030 as Vision 2.0. - Failed to extract the table; instead, it hallucinated and extracted the text in a different format. - Failed to extract the number and date of the circular.
I tested the same document with ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Gemini. Only Claude 3.7 extracted the complete document, while all others failed badly. You can read my analysis here [2].
