[brainless]

I am working on a client project, originally built using Google Vision APIs, and then I realized Tesseract is so good. Like really good. Also, if PDF text is available, then pdftotext tools are awesome.

My client's usecase was specific to scanning medical reports but since there are thousands of labs in India which have slightly different formats, I built an LLM agent which works only after the pdf/image to text process - to double check the medical terminology. That too, only if our code cannot already process each text line through simple string/regex matches.

There are perhaps extremely efficient tools to do many of the work where we throw the problem at LLMs.
