We’ve been doing exactly this by doubling-down on VLMs (https://vlm.run)

- VLMs are way better at handling layout and context where OCR systems fail miserably

- VLMs read documents like humans do, which makes dealing with special layouts like bullets, tables, charts, footnotes much more tractable with a singular approach rather than have to special case a whole bunch of OCR + post-processing

- VLMs are definitely more expensive, but can be specialized and distilled for accurate and cost effective inference

In general, I think vision + LLMs can be trained to explicitly to “extract” information and avoid reasoning/hallucinating about the text. The reasoning can be another module altogether.

I did a ton of Googling before writing this code, but I couldn't find you guys anywhere. If I had, I'd have definitely used your stuff. You might want to think about running some small-scale Google Ads campaigns. They could be especially effective if you target people searching for both LLM and OCR together. Great product, congratz!

Hey, thanks! DM me if you want to test it out ([e-mail]).

Agreed on SEO - we’re redoing our landing page and searchability. We recently rebranded, hence the lack of direct search hits for LLM / OCR.
