OCR has been a solved problem for years. Long before LLMs started being hyped. At least from typewritten documents that you did not torch or shred etc.

  No it hasn't. Just 1.5 years ago I tried all the latest OCR tools, including AWS, GCP and Azure services, and none of them could consistently and reliably read a receipt printed at a store.

    Receipts are hard. - cheap paper - cheap ink - misprints - abbreviations - every store does it differently

      Yes. Which makes OCR not a solved problem.

        OCR is merely step one. Interpreting recognized characters is another matter.
