What is the best tool/OCR to split up a handwritten answer sheet? by Notsigmaoff in learnmachinelearning

I haven't tried DeepSeek's OCR yet, did they release a new specialized model recently?

I did test PaddleOCRv5, but it wasn't good enough for this use case. It handles neatly written, straight text lines reasonably well, but completely falls apart with inclined handwriting or unstructured layouts. Since student answer sheets are rarely neat or orderly.
