Very recently it got vision which can be used for OCR on a single image, but that's massively inefficient and limited compared to what this is likely doing for longer documents
- lhuser123 3y agoI tried using the vision feature for OCR & it was worse than Tesseract. At least for financial documents where you need exact numbers amounts. Will the new PDF feature be better? I’m not so hopeful.
- BoorishBears 3y agoUsing the vision feature for OCR is like using an LLM for math: it might work, but we already have a lot of tools that are hyper-optimized for the task. There is practically no chance the new feature uses vision because that'd be _insanely_ slow and expensive for any reasonably sized document. They're likely using Azure's LayoutLM derived tech to get out text, then using embeddings to answer on questions
