Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n- If you need reliable bulk OCR on clean scans, Easy OCR stays predictable.<\/li>\n
- If you want OCR plus a bit of semantic grouping (like UI dashboards), Moondream can be useful, but expect odd line breaks.<\/li>\n
- For math and code, both need validation. Crop and simplify the input when possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

OCR Stress Test Sheet\nMathematical Formulas\nE = m c\u00b2\n\u222b\u2080\u1d38 x\u00b2 dx = 1\/3\nCode Example (JavaScript)\nlet input = \"123,45\";\nlet num = parseFloat(input);\nif (!isNaN(num)) {\nconsole.log(`Parsed number:`, num);\nconsole.log(\"Console.log(\"); console.log(\");\");\n}<\/pre>\nQuick take: This was the messiest input. Easy OCR hallucinated lots of extra tokens in the lower half. Moondream did better on the formula line, but the code block got mangled.<\/p>\n
Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n- If you need reliable bulk OCR on clean scans, Easy OCR stays predictable.<\/li>\n
- If you want OCR plus a bit of semantic grouping (like UI dashboards), Moondream can be useful, but expect odd line breaks.<\/li>\n
- For math and code, both need validation. Crop and simplify the input when possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
