Nanonets-OCR2-3B

Nanonets-OCR2: A model for transforming documents into structured markdown with intelligent content recognition and semantic tagging Nanonets-OCR2 by [Nanonets](https://nanonets.com) is a family of powerful, state-of-the-art image-to-markdown OCR models that go far beyond traditional text extraction. It transforms documents into structured markdown with intelligent content recognition and semantic tagging, making it ideal for downstream processing by Large Language Models (LLMs). Nanonets-OCR2 is packed with features designed to handle complex documents with ease: * **LaTeX Equation Recognition:** Automatically converts mathematical equations and formulas into properly formatted LaTeX syntax. It distinguishes between inline (`$...$`) and display (`$$...$$`) equations. * **Intelligent Image Description:** Describes images within documents using structured `<img>` tags, making them digestible for LLM processing. It can describe various image types, including logos, charts, graphs and so on, detailing their content, style, and context. * **Signature Detection & Isolation:** Identifies and isolates signatures from other text, outputting them within a `<signature>` tag. This is crucial for processing legal and business documents. * **Watermark Extraction:** Detects and extracts watermark text from documents, placing it within a `<watermark>` tag. * **Smart Checkbox Handling:** Converts form checkboxes and radio buttons into standardized Unicode symbols (`☐`, `☑`, `☒`) for consistent and reliable processing. * **Complex Table Extraction:** Accurately extracts complex tables from documents and converts them into both markdown and HTML table formats. * **Flow charts & Organisational charts:** Extracts flow charts and organisational as [mermaid](mermaid.js.org) code. * **Handwritten Documents:** The model is trained on handwritten documents across multiple languages. * **Multilingual:** Model is trained on documents of multiple languages, including English, Chinese, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and many more. * **Visual Question Answering (VQA):** The model is designed to provide the answer directly if it is present in the document; otherwise, it responds with "Not mentioned." from PIL import Image from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoProcessor, AutoModelForImageTextToText model_path = "nanonets/Nanonets-OCR2-3B" model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained( model_path, torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto", attn_implementation="flash_attention_2" ) model.eval() tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path) processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_path) def ocr_page_with_nanonets_s(image_path, model, processor, max_new_tokens=4096): prompt = """Extract the text from the above document as if you were reading it naturally.

Increasing the image resolution will improve model's performance. 2. For complex tables (eg. Financial documents) using `repetition_penalty=1` gives better results. You can try this prompt also, which generally works better for finantial documents. user_prompt = """Extract the text from the above document as if you were reading it naturally.

This is already implemented in [Docstrange](https://docstrange.nanonets.com/?output_type=markdown-financial-docs), please use the `Markdown (Financial Docs)` option for processing table heavy financial documents. import requests url = "https://extraction-api.nanonets.com/extract" headers = {"Authorization": <API KEY>} files = {"file": open("/path/to/your/file", "rb")} data = {"output_type": "markdown-financial-docs"} response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, files=files, data=data) print(response.json()) 4.
