  Wow. The Mathpix mobile app has support for reading two column PDFs as a single column. You can't run it locally, though, right?

Mathpix is what gave the best results when I tried a whole bunch of OCR solutions on technical PDFs (multi-column with diagrams, figures and equations). It is brilliant. > You can't run it locally, though, right? Unfortunately, no. Which is a shame because I also have confidential documents to OCR and there is no way I put them on someone else’s cloud.

      Did you try marker? https://github.com/VikParuchuri/marker https://github.com/VikParuchuri/marker I haven't tried olmocr yet and I now realize my 8GB GPU probably won't cut it, as it used a 7B param VLM model under the hood.
