What happened and what to do
In a post dated February 25, 2025, AllenAI introduced olmOCR, an open-source tool for extracting plain text from PDFs. The post says it handles several types of documents and can run on a GPU. This is relevant to teams evaluating how to turn PDF documents into text usable by internal systems.
A company could test the tool on representative samples of its own PDFs and implement a pipeline to receive files, extract text, and record failures and results for review. The work could include access controls, extraction-quality monitoring, and integration with search or document-processing systems, without assuming all documents will perform equally well.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can assess the current document workflow and security requirements, define a scope for evaluating olmOCR, and implement the extraction, monitoring, and integration pipeline. Ongoing operation can be sized to the company’s processes and infrastructure.
