OCR Arena – A playground for OCR models▲216
I built OCR Arena as a free playground for the community to compare leading foundation VLMs and open-source OCR models side-by-side. Upload any doc, measure accuracy, and (optionally) vote for the models on a public leaderboard. It currently has Gemini 3, dots.ocr, DeepSeek, GPT5, olmOCR 2, Qwen, and a few others. If there's any others you'd like included, let me know!

Online OCR Free – Batch OCR UI for Tesseract, Gemini and OpenRouter▲14
Built this because people working with large document sets had no free tool that handled batch processing cleanly. Tesseract is free and runs locally. For anything that needs more accuracy — Google Vision, Gemini, or any OpenRouter model — you bring your own API key. No subscription, no markup on your usage. Export as TXT, JSON, XML or PDF. AI engines support custom prompts so you can translate, extract form fields, or get structured output in one step.

You can now cut and paste from scanned documents in Firefox▲33
I just realized you can now open a PDF document in Firefox and select text directly from scanned images embedded in the document (so basically transparently reliable doing OCR). It is also surprisingly reliable, only sometimes mistaking a "oh" for a "zero" in a long string of numbers. I neither know when this was introduced nor who added this feature, but from the bottom of my heart: thank you, thank you, thank you, you have made my daily life a lot easier. I also haven't really explored the limits of the feature and under what conditions it starts failing, but: in my daily workflow so far,…
