For my #blind friends, I'm curious about your experiences with reading #PDFs through #OCR software. Specifically, beyond the use of Envision AI, which tools have you found to be the most accurate and reliable for this purpose? I'm always on the lookout for better alternatives. Feedback on both desktop and mobile platforms would be greatly appreciated, particularly in terms of accuracy of text recognition. accuracy (and obviously usability, but accuracy) are all I care about.
Feel free to boost for reach :)

have anyone here tried the Surya Text recognition? Surya is a multilingual document #OCR toolkit which can perform Accurate line-level text detection and recognition (OCR) in any language
VikParuchuri also have done marker, a tool to Convert PDF to markdown quickly with high accuracy

Dear @thunderbird
Could you please remember captioning your images?
Some instances offer automatic #OCR which can help grab any text in your image, though proofreading is still important. You can also follow @PleaseCaption to be reminded whenever you post an image without captioning it.
