I can’t you why you didn’t. But I can tell you a trick to come up with better ideas: force yourself to come up with 10 ideas, no matter how stupid. Then only filter them once you’re done.

This causes you to take less mental shortcuts. And you end up with better results (usually) at the cost of more mental effort/energy

Perhaps a multi stage approach is a better idea? Find a model that’s exclusively for optical character recognition, then feed it’s output into an llm
