It fits the "use cases" mentioned in the article

> Preserving historical and cultural heritage: Organizations and nonprofits that are custodians of heritage have been using Mistral OCR to digitize historical documents and artifacts, ensuring their preservation and making them accessible to a broader audience.

There is a difference between historical document and "my doctor prescription".

Someone coming here and saying it does not work with my old german hanwriting doesn't say much.

You're making a strawman, the parent specifically mentioned "historical handwritten documents"
