What Document Professionals Say About DeepSeek OCR

Hear from researchers, archivists, legal professionals, and data specialists who use DeepSeek OCR daily to transform their document workflows and save hundreds of hours monthly.

Dr. Emily Chen

Document Processing Manager, Stanford University

We digitized 50,000 historical documents using DeepSeek OCR. The 97% accuracy on century-old texts was remarkable - it saved us an estimated 2,000 hours of manual correction. The dynamic tiling vision encoding handled complex layouts that other OCR tools completely failed on.

Michael Rodriguez

Research Data Specialist, Max Planck Institute

DeepSeek OCR's ability to preserve complex tables and convert mathematical formulas to LaTeX is game-changing. We process hundreds of scientific papers weekly. What used to take 30 minutes per paper is now automatic with 98% accuracy.

Sarah Johnson

Digital Archive Coordinator, National Archives UK

DeepSeek OCR handles degraded paper, faded ink, and irregular layouts that would be impossible for traditional OCR. We recently processed 100,000 Victorian-era documents with consistently high accuracy. The batch processing made this massive project feasible.

David Wilson

Finance Operations Lead, Goldman Sachs

DeepSeek OCR's table recognition is the most accurate we've tested. Processing time dropped from 3 weeks of manual data entry to 4 hours of automated conversion with 99% accuracy on structured financial data. The ROI was immediate and substantial.

Prof. Li Wei

Digital Humanities Researcher, Peking University

DeepSeek OCR's performance on traditional Chinese characters, even in historical woodblock print scans, exceeds any other tool I've tested. I processed 500 Song Dynasty documents in two days - work that would have taken months manually.

Legal Technology Manager, Baker McKenzie

Our firm handles contracts in 23 languages. DeepSeek OCR's automatic language detection and consistent accuracy transformed our document review process. We reduced contract digitization time by 70% while maintaining audit-quality accuracy.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About DeepSeek OCR

Everything you need to know about using DeepSeek OCR for document processing. Can't find your answer? Contact us at [email protected]

1

What makes DeepSeek OCR different from other OCR software?

DeepSeek OCR uses a 3 billion parameter vision AI model with proprietary dynamic tiling vision encoding that analyzes documents at multiple resolutions simultaneously. This achieves 97% character-level accuracy compared to 85-90% for traditional OCR tools. Unlike competitors that struggle with complex layouts, DeepSeek OCR perfectly preserves tables, multi-column formats, mathematical formulas, and mixed-language text.

2

What are the commercial usage rights?

You retain full ownership and commercial rights to all documents processed through DeepSeek OCR. The Markdown output can be used freely for any purpose including commercial applications, research publications, and redistribution. We do not claim any rights to your documents. Your original files are automatically deleted from our servers after 24 hours.

3

What document formats does DeepSeek OCR support?

DeepSeek OCR supports all common formats: PDF (including scanned PDFs), images (JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, WebP), multi-page TIFF files, and screenshots. Maximum file size is 50MB per document with batch upload supporting up to 1,000 files simultaneously. No format conversion or preprocessing is required.

4

How long does document processing take?

Average processing time is 3 seconds per page on GPU infrastructure. Simple text documents process in 2-3 seconds, while complex multi-column layouts with tables and formulas may take 5-8 seconds per page. Batch processing runs in parallel across our GPU cluster, allowing 200,000+ pages daily on A100 infrastructure.

5

What tips ensure best OCR results?

For optimal results: (1) Upload 300 DPI or higher scans when available. (2) Ensure proper document orientation - auto-correction is available but pre-aligned documents process faster. (3) For degraded documents, use 'Ultra' processing mode. (4) When photographing documents, ensure good lighting and hold camera parallel to page. (5) Use PDF format for multi-page documents. (6) Trust automatic language detection.

6
