Wow, this is promising. I tried on a few poorly scanned papers I've lying about. A few observations:
1. Pre-process PDF images to detect letters better?
2. Use LLMs to spell/grammar check and perhaps even auto-complete missing pieces?
3. Employ rich text to capture style (ex: lexical.dev)?
Unsure if it is feasible to bundle it all up for web.

- euazOn 3y agoIn case you wanted to add a pre-processing step, I found this ImageMagick script useful: https://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/textcleaner/index.php https://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/textcleaner/index.ph... Not sure how difficult it is to run it in the browser, though.
