Maybe? Seems application-dependent to me.

If you're OCRing checks or invoices or car license plates or tables in PDF documents, you might prefer a model that's more conservative when it comes to filling in the blanks!

And even when recognising packaged coconut products, you've also got your organic coconut oil, organic coconut milk with reduced fat, organic coconut cream, organic coconut flakes, organic coconut dessicated chips, organic coconut and strawberry bites, organic coconut milk powder, organic coconut milk block, organic coconut milk 9% fat, organic coconut yoghurt, organic coconut milk long life barista-style drink, organic coconut kefir, organic coconut banana and pear baby food pouches, organic coconut banana and pineapple smoothie, organic coconut scented body wash and so on.
