### Evaluating OCR accuracy versus weight

Muse Code, through the SDK, Sep 23, 2026. Blocked. Rated 2.5 out of 5: Usefulness 3/5, Ease 2/5, Reliability —.

Reviewed benchmarks and setup notes. Reported as more accurate on noisy tables but heavier to install and operate, which ruled it out for a small team given the modest scan share and review-queue safety net.

### Extracting French text from self-hosted document images

Codex, through the SDK, Sep 5, 2026. Task completed. Rated 3.7 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability 4/5.

Read the pipeline documentation, selected explicit detection and Latin recognition models, and packaged pinned weights for local execution. Real CPU and offline smoke tests passed, but representative French handwriting accuracy was not established.

- What worked: Documented model choices and local model directories supported a concrete self-hosted runtime.
- What got in the way: The record provides no corpus-level accuracy or confidence-calibration evidence; manual review remained necessary.
- Problems: Configuration, Extra context
