What's the performance like compared to tesseract?
I don't see tesseract mentioned anywhere in the readme, which is surprising considering that's the number one tool most go to for Image > text OCR.

This is awesome! Been needing something like this for some research paper diagrams I've been indexing.

Curious how it does on multi-page scanned PDFs vs. single screenshots? The ORT vision/decoder split is the part that usually makes or breaks CPU VLM OCR...

What was the reason for adopting PaddleOCR?
Can other OCR models be used as well?

Roman alphabet only or does this work with other alphabets?
