Ahh, I wanted to list translation as another "byproduct". That totally feels like solved now.
However, while OCR done by vision models feels neat, I personally dont feel like it changed anything for me. I have been using KNFB Reader and later Seeing AI, and both have sufficiently solved the "OCR a document you just photographed" use case for me. They even aid the picture taking process by letting me know that a particular edge of the document is not visible.
Besides, I still don't understand the actual potential for hallucinations when doing OCR through vision models fully. I have a feeling there are a number of corner cases which will lead to hallucinations. The tendency to fill in things that might fit but aren't there is rather concerning. Talking about spelling errors and numerical data.
