Generic OCR turns fractions into slash-mangled text, destroys subscripts, and cuts equations in half. Below is a real, unedited extraction from the seminal Google Brain Transformer paper.

3.2.1 Scaled Dot-Product Attention

We call our particular attention "Scaled Dot-Product Attention" (Figure 2). The input consists of queries and keys of dimension d_k, and values of dimension d_v. We compute the dot products of the query with all keys, divide each by √d_k, and apply a softmax function to obtain the weights on the values.

$$\text{Attention}(Q, K, V) = \text{softmax}\left(\frac{QK^T}{\sqrt{d_k}}\right)V \tag{1}$$

The two most commonly used attention functions are additive attention, and dot-product (multiplicative) attention. Dot-product attention is identical to our algorithm, except for the scaling factor of 1/√d_k. Additive attention computes the compatibility function using a feed-forward network with a single hidden layer. While the two are similar in theoretical complexity, dot-product attention is much faster and more space-efficient in practice, since it can be implemented using highly optimized matrix multiplication code.

The difference between raw characters and usable text

Traditional OCR gives you a fragmented puzzle of words with hard breaks every five words. OCRtoText reassembles the syntax so you never have to delete 200 line breaks by hand.

Auto-Unwrapped Paragraphs

Sentence lines that don't end with terminal punctuation are automatically joined. Paste straight into Word, Google Docs, or Notion without pressing backspace a hundred times.

⇅

Column-Aware Reading Order

Multi-column academic papers and magazines are recognized column by column. The left column finishes completely before the right column begins—never horizontally spliced.
