In plain words

Bring OCR to GPT is an AI tool that adds optical character recognition capabilities to GPT, enabling the model to process and extract text from images. Designed for developers and users who need to automate document scanning and text extraction workflows, it bridges the gap between image input and text-based language models. The project is available on GitHub, making it accessible to those comfortable with open-source tools and technical implementation.

    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,…

  • Zerox – Document OCR with GPT-mini2024 · github.com · ▲246

    This started out as a weekend hack with gpt-4-mini, using the very basic strategy of "just ask the ai to ocr the document". But this turned out to be better performing than our current implementation of Unstructured/Textract. At pretty much the same cost. I've tested almost every variant of document OCR over the past year, especially trying things like table / chart extraction. I've found the rules based extraction has always been lacking. Documents are meant to be a visual representation after all. With weird layouts, tables, charts, etc. Using a vision model just make sense! In…
