I just built a pipeline with tesseract last year. What's better that is open source and runnable locally? VLLM hallucination is a blocker for my use case.

VLLM hallucination is a blocker for my use case.
- criddell 1y agoIf you are stuck with open source, then your options are limited. Otherwise I'd say just use your operating system's OCR API. Both Windows and MacOS have excellent APIs for this.
- stavros 1y agoHow is a hallucination worse than a Tesseract error?
- jgalt212 1y agoHallucinations are hard to detect unless you are a subject-matter expert. I don't have direct experience with Tesseract error detection.
- krapht 1y agoBecause the VLM doesn't know it hallucinated. When you get a Tesseract error you can flag the OCR job for manual review.
- amelius 1y agoIt could hallucinate obscene language, something which is less likely with classic OCR.
- gessha 1y agoLatter is more likely to get debugged.
