Why people pick GLM OCR for tough pages
The glm-ocr model is built for real paperwork — structure you can edit, not a wall of plain text.
Complex tables that stay usable
Merged cells and multi-level headers are common failure points for everyday OCR. GLM OCR is stronger on report grids and form-style tables — when you need editable cells, continue to a spreadsheet.

Handwriting, stamps, and messy scans
Built for harder shots: handwritten notes, sealed contracts, multilingual pages, and mixed layouts — when clear screenshots are not what you have.
