Then are you actually doing OCR, or are you just extracting embedded text?
Pretty much anything with a different colored background gets returned as (image)[image_001].

I mean I get it bulk video processing would be crazy expensive, but at least mention you're only analyzing the transcript especially if you're a paid product.
Honestly, the vibes aren't great. Gemini is a lot more flexible for handling PDFs - you can prompt it to do a bunch of other things - and Mistral OCR appears to hallucinate if it can't correctly read handwriting, a common problem with vision LLM based OCR tools.
The way Mistral OCR handles images within the text is disappointing - it doesn't attempt to interpret them, just extracts them out as binary blobs. A vision LLM can usually do a great job of describing an image, but with Mistral OCR you have to manually run that as a separate step.
For example, if some content has the images and some don't, you need to add whole additional steps to your processing and potentially add hallucinations in.
What are you using for document extraction lately, Simon?
So cool in fact, I got distracted and ended up building an open source PDF parser and chat app!
Presenting Auntie PDF - your all-knowing guide that unpacks every PDF into clear, actionable insights.
You can upload a pdf or point to a public link, parse it, and then ask questions. All open source and free.
Not working for me on a file like this: https://files.catbox.moe/gii0pu.pdf It says that is larger than 10MB (it's 7MB), or failed on url.
Would be nice with a [Download Combined Rendered] button to download a self-contained .html web page of the rendered combined page.
