That's for you, but that won't stop the rest of the world

Would you mind providing yours as well as benchmarks used? All benchmarks I could find point to a different picture than described in parent comment

Many consider AsciiDoc being too complex.

RAM is upgradable according to Linus LTT, standard modules fit. But you can't upgrade graphics/cpu AFAIR.

It's a laptop APU with graphics card moved to a daughter board, hence "semi-custom".

I can't wait till Wero* will be fully rolled out in EU. ECB does a good job of managing financial landscape for payments in the consumer friendly way

Interesting. Wonder if it’ll be available for uk residents. Could be useful for mainland service like hetzner etc

They are quite handy for some people. Once you get one, you'll start labeling all stuff. It's fun and also helps finding stuff faster.

Meanwhile once I bought a roll of blue painters' tape I started labeling freaking everything.

Painter’s tape is where I started, too… then I learned that gaffer’s tape comes in 1” rolls, and I’ve never looked back.

I went with the 47 mm wide roll of tape because that was the easiest to find on the shelf at the big box store. 3M painters tape because it will generally come off cleanly well past its rated time of like two weeks.

This is the way. Tape and a sharpie. No wires, drivers, usb, bluetooth, or wifi needed.

I assume part of the appeal is much cheaper label supplies than eg Epson?

The appeal is the ability to make decent labels which can withstand almost all indoor use and abuse for a reasonable amount of time.

I generally hand-label my boxes and things with specialized ink, and they hold very well even after a decade.

But if I'm going to label a spice jar or something gonna handled a lot, I use the printer. It's legible, resistant/resilient enough and reprinting things is easy.

I think part of it is that these printers end up offering so much more flexibility than your traditional labeler. Single-font single-line labels are boring, crummy built in excuses for emoji…

Asceticism of HN is a feature, not a bug

Looking at that 'one-liner' I get strong perl vibes, or is it chills?..

Scribe is Tesseract. It uses tesseract.js which is a Web Assembly port of Tesseract. So they in theory should be equal. In practice custom settings or older versions could make a difference.

This is only true in the "speed" mode; in the "quality" mode it claims better word recognition than Tesseract on clean scans (which matches my tests): https://github.com/scribeocr/scribe.js/blob/master/docs/scri...

What's the motivation for doing this in the browser? It seems like intentionally choosing a more difficult path to create an inferior result.

A native MacOS or Windows application could use the OCR facilities of the operating system and, in my experience, both produce results that are far better than Tesseract.

Generate the OCR on the fly, in the browser, when you do not have the proper OCR info. As someone that works on public web libraries, I see it useful (but wasteful)

According to what I read in the documentation, it uses Tesseract underneath. I've used Tesseract v3 in the past and it was pain. Tesseract 4 uses LSTM neural net. How good is the performance and quality of the recognition nowadays in v4? Could anyone share his experience?

I use paperless-ngx for digitizing all my documents, it also uses Tesseract. The result is not perfect, but more than acceptable, if I scan at 600dpi

There's https://github.com/icereed/paperless-gpt as a plugin

Local LLMs I've found to not be good enough for OCR (while being a lot more resource hungry), and OpenAI models I want to avoid for privacy reasons. Default tesseract does the job for me, since my only requirements for the results it "I can easily find what I need with full-text search" - I rarely need to actually copy the text from the resulting PDFs

it's fine for simple use cases, but far inferior to the likes of GPT, Gemini or Mistral
