damn, in my tests it was usually better than kha-white/manga-ocr (possibly due to built in image preprocessing it has idk)
My usecase is "normal" text + slightly stylized text with non-zero background noise
picrel isnt the best example, but shows my point.
for online stuff I currently use gemini 2.5 flash which works better than paddle/mangaocr and I get free 250 requests daily via api + undisclosed amount of requests via aistudio
