BetterOCR combines and corrects multiple OCR engines with an LLM

In plain words

BetterOCR is an OCR tool that uses machine learning to combine and correct outputs from multiple optical character recognition engines. It leverages a large language model to improve accuracy by reconciling results across different OCR systems. The software is designed for users who need reliable text extraction from images and documents, particularly those requiring high accuracy where individual OCR engines might produce errors. It is available as an open-source project.

  LLM-aided OCR – Correcting Tesseract OCR errors with LLMs2024 · github.com · ▲479

  Almost exactly 1 year ago, I submitted something to HN about using Llama2 (which had just come out) to improve the output of Tesseract OCR by correcting obvious OCR errors [0]. That was exciting at the time because OpenAI's API calls were still quite expensive for GPT4, and the cost of running it on a book-length PDF would just be prohibitive. In contrast, you could run Llama2 locally on a machine with just a CPU, and it would be extremely slow, but "free" if you had a spare machine lying around. Well, it's amazing how things have changed since then. Not only have models gotten a lot better,…
