No way it's solved. try to make OCR over a magazine with creative layouts. Not possible. I have a collection of vintage computer magazines and from time to time I try to OCR them whith the state of the art mechanisms. All of them requiere a lot of human intervention

I use LLMWhisperer[1] for OCR'ing old magazine ads. It preserves the layout and context. Example > https://postimg.cc/ts3vT7kG

Could you provide an example that fails? I'm interested in this.
