I use the inbuild OCR in ShareX, which works pretty well, without AI. FOSS

    I find traditional OCR apps are just qualitatively worse. This tool understands complex tables, extracts mathematical formulas, predicts reading order, and outputs nicely formatted Markdown. So, it's not just blindly scraping flat text from a document.

    Why do you think that it doesn't use AI? It uses Wndows' own OCR APIs, requiring Windows language packs for support for different scripts & languages. OCR has used AI for a long time now.
