Great to read that blind folks get so much benefit from LLMs. But this one quote seemed odd. The most amazing OCR and document attribution products are becoming available due to LLMs | |||||||||||||||||

LLM/VLM-based OCR is highly prone to hallucination - the model does not know when it can’t read a text, it can’t estimate its own confidence, and it deals with fuzzy/unclear texts by simply making things up. I would be very nervous using it for anything critical. | |||||||||||||||||
