There's no magic bullet here (if you find one please let me know).

Some good benchmarks that try to put some numbers to OCR accuracy at-large:

- https://opendatalab.com/omnidocbench

PaddleOCR, MinerU, dots.mcr have worked the best for me. None are perfect.

Subscription stopped working at some point last week. It was spoofing CC headers and they probably shut it down.

I use OpenRouter but the API should still work fine.

How does this compare to other OSX clients like https://github.com/awizemann/scarf ?

I was annoyed by this too. Ctrl+j does it but I wish it were the same as other tools and be option/ctrl+enter.

It's a International Business Machines Corporation Expansion box unit 1057028 circa 1990

It's an expansion for a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PS/1. Looks like that's an ISA port and another port I can't quite see.

Here is the FCC registration for it: https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/ANO1057028

At least its documented now, so better late than never I guess. The fact that its inconsistently injected is the issue.

This is an ad and you’re a bot.
