Where are you seeing 79% accuracy? 79% only occurs on the page as a win rate, not an accuracy

And I believe the number is 74%, compared to OCR 2.

What matters is whether this is better than competition/alternatives. Of course nobody is just going to take the output as is. If you do that, that's your problem.

79% win over OCR2 was just for English.

Right! I didn’t know the difference. Does it mean for 79 out of 100 documents they produce 100% accurate OCR, I doubt it. The win rate sounds like a practical approximation of accuracy here to me.

If I am wildly off, I am happy to learn.

79 out of 100 documents Mistral OCR 3 provides better output than Mistral OCR 2.

79% of the time it beats the previous model.

The previous version already achieved up to 99% accuracy in multiple benchmarks, already better than most OCR software.

Thank you.
