Llama 3.2-Vision mentioned in the article is indeed very powerful, especially in multimodal tasks like high-precision OCR, which is truly impressive!

Bytefer • Nov 27 '24

The minicpm-v visual model is also supported with the following code:

  const text = await ollamaOCR({
    model: "minicpm-v",
    filePath: "./trader-joes-receipt.jpg",
    systemPrompt: DEFAULT_OCR_SYSTEM_PROMPT,
  });
