I created a Powershell script to run this locally on any PDF: https://gist.github.com/kordless/652234bf0b32b02e39cef32c71e03400 https://gist.github.com/kordless

I created a Powershell script to run this locally on any PDF: https://gist.github.com/kordless/652234bf0b32b02e39cef32c71e03400 https://gist.github.com/kordless/652234bf0b32b02e39cef32c71e... It does work, but it is very slow on my older GPU (Nvidia 1080 8GB). I would say it's taking at least 5 minutes per page right now, but maybe more. Edit: If anyone is interested in trying a PDF to markdown conversion utility built this that is hosted on Cloud Run (with GPU support), let me know. It should be done in about an hour or so and I will post a link up here when it's done.

Reporting back on this, here's some sample output from https://www.sidis.net/animate.pdf https://www.sidis.net/animate.pdf: THE ANIMATE AND THE INANIMATE WILLIAM JAMES SIDIS <img>A black-and-white illustration of a figure holding a book with the Latin phrase "ARTI et VERITATI" below it.</img> BOSTON RICHARD G. BADGER, PUBLISHER THE GORHAM PRESS Digitized by Google I haven't see ANY errors in what it has done, which is quite impressive. Here, it's doing tables of contents (I used a slightly different copy of the PDF than I linked to): <table> <tr> <td>Chapter</td> <td>Page</td> </tr> <tr> <td>PREFACE</td> <td>3</td> </tr> <tr> <td>I. THE REVERSE UNIVERSE</td> <td>9</td> </tr> <tr> <td>II. REVERSIBLE LAWS</td> <td>14</td> </tr> Other than the fact it is ridiculously slow, this seems to be quite good at doing what it says it does.

  Ok, I have it built but things came up and I'm testing this morning (probably still broken but the code is all there): https://github.com/kordless/gnosis-ocr https://github.com/kordless/gnosis-ocr
