- I use them to create a vendor order each week. They take my voice and transcribe it into a list to text my sales reps.

- I use them to OCR PDFs from my bank

- I use them as a search/replace tool on CSVs

- I use them to replace Google searches

- I use them to code

- I'm trying to use them to view (still frames from) cameras periodically

I'll think of more uses, I'm sure. My work is very low tech and simple.

What do you do after you OCR the pdfs?

[sejje]

Turn it into CSV, sometimes transform it, confirm it's correct, paste it into my spreadsheet.

Are you aware that AI-based OCR very often hallucinates? https://www.runpulse.com/blog/why-llms-suck-at-ocr

[sejje]

Yes. Hasn't been a problem yet for my bank pdfs.

As I said, I verify it. Since it's a total over many transactions, it's hard to hallucinate and then get the same total the bank sheet has.

Ya know?
