how does this compare to e.g. docling, mineru. hard to keep track of all the ocr libs that are being posted.
pfdomizer•1h ago
Docling and MinerU are great for structured output like markdown and table extraction, but they run at 1-5 pages/s because of the VLMs under the hood.

Turbo-OCR gives you bounding boxes, text, and layout regions at multiple hundred img/s depending on the text density. When you have many PDFs to process, it makes a huge difference. You can always pipe the output into a VLM for the pages that need deeper extraction. Structured extraction and markdown output are on the roadmap (without sacrificing too much speed).
