Why it matters
Small, accurate multilingual OCR models simplify automated document and label processing without relying on large VLMs—useful for SMEs handling diverse international documents.
For you Run small/medium variants on representative document samples to compare accuracy and latency, and prefer ONNX/Paddle deployments for low-resource servers.
