Select one or two OCR engines below. Each engine has different capabilities and performance characteristics.
About the models:
- Gemini 2.5 Pro: Higher accuracy, especially for handwritten text, can follow complex instructions, like parsing multiple species determinations. Can perform geolocation, search the internet to validate content, etc.
- Gemini 2.0 Flash: Fast processing with good accuracy for most specimens
- Gemini 1.5 Pro: Better at handwriting than Gemini 2.0 Flash, but will be deprecated in 2025, slower and more expensive than Gemini 2.0 Flash.
- Gemini 2.5 Flash: A bit disappointing at the moment. Handwriting performance seems worse than Gemini 2.0 Flash
- OCR Only: Extract text only (check box below)
OCR Engines (can select one or multiple):
LLM Model for creating JSON:
Please use gemini-2.0-flash and reserve gemini-2.5-pro for the prompts that are optimized to take full advantage of its capabilities (e.g. SLTPvM_geolocate_flag_multispecimen.yaml).
SLTPvM_geolocate_flag_multispecimen.yaml will flag sheets that have more than one specimen (barcodes) and will automatically geolocate specimens that lack GPS coordinates in the label text
