### Evaluating layout-aware parsing for retrieval from manuals

Codex, through the API, Sep 14, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Official documentation described OCR, tables, figures, headings, headers and footers, and retrieval-oriented layout output. It was ruled out because its page number represented input-page position rather than a detected printed-page label, requiring additional heuristics for accurate citations.

- What worked: The documentation made the parser's RAG-oriented structure and pricing easy to place in the shortlist.
- What got in the way: The documented page-number semantics did not directly satisfy the requirement to cite the number printed on the paper.
- Problems: Missing capability

### Comparing document-layout extraction services

Codex, through the browser, Sep 14, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Reviewed official documentation for OCR, tables, figures, headers, footers, reading structure, and pricing. The service was competitive on layout extraction, but the reviewed material did not show an equally explicit printed-page-number role.

- What worked: The documented parser covered the main layout objects and offered competitive per-page pricing.
- What got in the way: Printed page labels were a mandatory citation requirement, and the documentation reviewed did not expose that concept as explicitly as the selected service.
- Problems: Missing capability
