I appreciate having an OCR interface rather than having to chat with a bot, but unfortunately chatting with Gemini 3 gives far better results than this. I gave it the document Gemini 3 got a surprisingly good result on:
Just out of pity I gave it a birthday card from my sister written in very readable modern handwriting, and while in managed to make the contents of that readable, the errors it made reveals that it has very little contextual intelligence. Even if ! and ? can be hard to tell apart sometimes, they weren't here, and you do not usually start a birthday letter with "Happy Birthday brother?"

My current holy grail is my attempt to convert a Shipibo (an indigenous Peruvian language)-to-Spanish dictionary into a Shipibo-to-English dictionary. The pdf I have (available freely on archive.org) isn't a great scan (though I think it'd be a heck of a lot easier than some of the handwritten examples they show). Layout (2-columns) along with header/footers can cause some headaches, but it is all Latin script. This seems to fall on its face pretty badly (not even a couple of pages in), so my search continues. (The other major problem I'm having is trying to separate out Shipibo definitions/examples from the Spanish ones, and only translating the Spanish to English...so pretty complex I guess. I've been taking fresh stabs at this project every few months when I see OCR/LLM news pop up and continue to be disappointed)
By temp0826 19 hours ago
I'm assuming you're interested in studying Ayahuasca traditions?
I recently learned that traditionally in Shipibo culture, ayahuasca was never meant to be given to "the normal mind". Instead the maestras would be the ones taking the ayahuasca in order to help guide them into diagnosing people dealing with various sicknesses.
These maestras were also ranked by how many different plants they'd done a dieta on. A dieta is kinda similar to fasting. You can't shower with soap, you can't have sex, you can't have too much salt/seasoning, can't be exposed to too much smoke, can't have alcohol, etc. And you use that specific plant throughout your time. Basically you want to eliminate any conflicting variables so you can experience the plant as purely as possible to understand its effects. Traditionally these dietas could last over a year but modern day maestros typically do them for just a few weeks.
I don't really have a point to this. Just found it fascinating how deeply and strictly they study certain plant medicines and wanted to share
By culi 18 hours ago
Yes essentially. I've got a few resources cobbled together over the last few years but it'd be really nice to have this reference (my Spanish isn't the best, and running to the translator for a definition can be a little annoying). Also to share with fellow learners/apprentices I know. There are a couple of classes out there (which are actually geared more toward the ceremonial/icaro language, not purely conversational Shipibo, which is a bit simpler as you don't need to worry as much about conjugation and other complexities) which I might look into eventually.
(Fwiw I've accumulated a couple years worth of dieta under my belt and am well aware of the restrictions! It's indeed very fascinating, been pretty serious about it the last few years and I've barely scratched the surface)
By temp0826 18 hours ago
Couldn't you use your smartphone and Google Lens (on Android, Google app on iOS includes Google Lens functionality) to translate the Spanish to English?
FYI - Lens on Android does in-place language translation including attempting to use the same/similar font that the original language is written/printed.
Unfortunately, I don't think Lens can be used in an automated batch translation mode to convert an entire book/multiple pages

By temp0826 4 hours ago
I applaud your efforts, but that seems difficult to me. There's so much nuance in language, and the original spanish translation would even be dependent upon locale-destination of the original dictionary. Which would also be time based, as language changes over time.
And that translation is likely only a rough approximation, as words don't often translate directly. To add in an extra layer (spanish -> english) seems like another layer of imperfect (due to language) abstraction.
Of course your efforts are targeting a niche, so likely people will understand the attempt and be thankful. I hope this suggestion isn't too forward, but this being an electronic version, you could allow some way for the original spanish to be shown if desired. That sort of functionality would be quite helpful, even non-native spanish speakers might get a clearer picture.
What tools are you using to abstract all of this?
If the spacing and columns of the images are consistent, I'd think imagemagick would allow you to automate extraction by column (eg, cutting the individual pages up), and OCR could then get to work.
For the Shipibo side, I'd want to turn off all LLM interpretation. That tends to use known groupings of words to probabilistically determine best-match, and that'd wreak havoc in this case.
Back to the images, once you have imagemagick chop and sort, writing a very short script to iterate over the pages, display them, and prompt with y/n would be a massive time saver. Doing so at each step would be helpful.
For example, one step? Cut off header and footer, save to dir. Using helpful naming conventions (page-1, and page-1-noheader_footer). You could then use imagemagick to combine page-1 and -age-1-noheader_footer side by side.
Now run a simple bash vet script. Each of 500 pages pops up, you instantly see the original and the cut result, and you hit y or n. One could go through 500 pages like this in 10 to 20 minutes, and you'd be left with a small subset of pages that didn't get cut properly (extra large footer or whatever). If it's down to 10 pages or some such, that's an easy tweak and fix for those.
Once done, you could do the same for column cuts. You'd already have all the scripts, so it's just tweaking.
I'm mentioning all of this, because combo of automation plus human intervention is often the best method to something such as this.
Anyhow, good luck!
By b112 11 hours ago
Thanks for the suggestions, I do appreciate it. I was being pretty brief with my post but I really have spent a lot of time and tried this from a number of angles. I've had good luck with non-LLM tools to do the initial OCR, but it's not context aware especially about column/page breaks (like I mentioned it's kind of a dirty scan, and if the breaks happen on a Shipibo part it barfs a bit. Good for a rough search at least).
I would love to create a json version of it that would essentially have a bunch of fields for each word (Shipibo/Spanish/English word/definition/example, type of word, etc). It's further complicated by how words can be modified in Shipibo (it's actually a very technical language- words can have any number of prefixes and suffixes tagged on to change their meaning and their precision. In their "icaros", the healing songs they sing in ceremony, the most technical use of the language is considered to be the most beautiful. Essentially poetry from their "medical" jargon).
I've done some human-in-the-loop attempts but still come up short in one way or another (I end up getting frustrated and throwing my hands up after seeing how much time I dump on it). So I figure this will remain a good test as the tools (and my prompting abilities) get better. It's definitely not urgent for me.

Until then, they seem to be able to keep enough talent in the EU to train reasonably good models. The kernel is there, which seems like the attainable goal.

This goes to show how leaders in Mistral don't quite get that they are not special as they seem to think they are. Anthropic or OpenAI also require their talent to relocate but with stakes that are at least a high reward - $500k or $1M a year is a good start that is maybe worth investing into.

I've worked on document extraction a lot and while the tweet is too flippant for my taste, it's not wrong. Mistral is comparing itself to non-VLM computer vision services. While not necessarily what everyone needs, they are a very different beasts compared to VLM based extraction because it gives you precise bounding boxes, usually at the cost of larger "document understanding".
Its failure mode are also vastly different. VLM-based extraction can misread entire sentences or miss entire paragraphs. Sonnet 3 had that issue. Computer vision models instead will make in-word typos.

I did the opposite. Tesseract to get bboxes, words, and chars and then mistral on the clips with some reasonable reflow to preserve geometry.

But Surya > Rapid w/ Paddle > DocTr > Tesseract while the latter gave me the most granularity when I needed it.
Edit: Gemini 2.0 was good enough for VLM cleanup, and now 2.5 or above with structured output make reconstruction even easier.

It took an hour and a half to install 12 gigabytes of pytorch dependencies that can't even run on my device, and then it told me it had some sort of versioning conflict. (I think I was supposed to use UV, but I had run out of steam by that point.)
Maybe I should have asked Claude to install it for me. I gave Claude root on a $3 VPS, and it seems to enjoy the sysadmin stuff a lot more than I do...
Incidentally I had a similar experience installing open web UI... It installed 12 GB of pytorch crap.. I rage quit and deleted the whole thing, and replicated the functionality I actually needed in 100 lines of HTML.... Too bad I can't do that with OCR ;)

gemini-cli is good for this sort of thing. You can just tell it "Find out why xyz.py doesn't run" and let it crunch. It will try reasonably hard to get you out of Python dependency hell, and (more important) it generally knows when to give up.
But yes, in general, you want to use uv. Otherwise, the next Python application you install WILL break the last one you installed.
I suppose you could use gemini-cli as a substitute for proper Python virtual environment management, always letting it fix whatever broke since the last time you tried to run the program, but that'd be like burning down a rainforest to toast a marshmallow.

what I like in MistralOCR is that they have simple pricing $1/1k pages and API hosted on their servers. With other OCR is hard to compare pricing because are token based and you don't know how many tokens is the image unless you run your own test.
E.g. with Gemini 3.0 flash you might seem that model pricing increased only slightly comparing to Gemini 2.5 flash until you test it and will see that what used to be 258 per 384x384 input tokens now is around 3x more.

This might be a good place to check the options available for OCR in-place translations. I took a look at OCR3, but it doesn't seem to support my use-case. It looks more tailored towards data extraction for further processing.
I've got some foreign artbooks that I would like to get translated. The translations would need to be in place since the placement of the text relative to the pictures around it is fairly important. I took a look at some paid options online, but they seemed to choke - mostly because of the non-standard text placements and all.
The best solution I could come up with is using Google Lens to overlay a translation while I go through the books, but holding a camera/tablet up to my screen isn't very comfortable. Chrome has Lens built in, but (IIRC) I still need to manually select sections for it to translate - it's not as easy to use as just holding my phone up.
Anyone know of any progress towards in-place OCR/translations?

Wonder if Word uses the same system Edge has. I remember Edge was also good, but like Chrome's Lens, I'd need to highlight sections for it to get translated. Edge also OCR'd everything very well - just didn't do the translation part automatically.

So yes, in practice a lot of OCR jobs go to Mistral, but not all of them.
Would love to hear requests for other parsers if folks have them!

Gave it a birth registry from a Portuguese locality from 1755 which my dad and I often decipher to figure out geneology and it did a terrible job.
Regular Gemini Thinking can actually get 70-80% of the documents correct except lots of mistakes on given names. Chatgpt maybe understands like 50-60%.
This Mistral model butchered the whole text, literally not a word was usable. To the point I think I'm doing something wrong.
Just gave it a shot with Grok 4.1 thinking - do you have the ground truth translation to compare? I've tried 4 different times, with slight tweaks adding information from your description, and it's given me a range of interpretations. It'd be nice to see if any of them got close - a couple were more like pulpy telenovela plots, lol.
The model might need tuning in order to be effective - this is normal for releases of image mode models, and after a couple days, there will be properly set up endpoints to test from, so it might be much better than you think.
