How good is this compared to most commercial OCR software?

  Any vision model is better than commercial OCR software.

    I'm not really sure if that's an accurate summary of the state of the art, [0] is a better overview. In short, SOTA multi-modal LLMs are the best option for handwriting, nearly anything is good at printed text, for printed media, specialty models from hyperscalers are slightly better than multi-modal LLMs. [0] https://research.aimultiple.com/ocr-accuracy/ https://research.aimultiple.com/ocr-accuracy/

      I see it confirms what I wrote state of art is “not using tessaract anymore” and I think bunch of commercial solutions are stuck with tessaract.

        I assume Tesseract has the advantage of being able to give a confidence score?

    Since “commercial OCR software” includes VLM-based commercial offerings, that's clearly not correct.
