How do these compare to traditional commercial and open source OCR tools? What about things like the Apple Vision APIs?
Can we even OCR pdfs using Apple Vision APIs
I’m vibe coding a little macOS OCR app since last weekend, and I’m really happy with the results so far. This is my first app, so fingers crossed. If it becomes feature-complete and polished enough, I’m considering open sourcing it. There’s still a long way to go, though.
