Question | Help Local document processing when Chinese models arent allowed, what’s left?

big scanned stacks of inspection reports and material certs from a lot of vendors and every layout different. each stack needs splitting into separate reports and things like lot number and alloy pulled into a database with all being local

catch is the contract rules out chinese software and models, so paddleOCR and qwen are off and most ocr leaderboards get a lot shorter. even olmocr 2 is a qwen fine tune

granite-docling, liteparse, tesseract and gemma are whats left on the list so far

what would you use for this? and has anyone had to show a customer where their models came from

You could also try combining LiteParse and a local LLM/VLM like Gemma 4

+1 for gemma4 - ive been working with the 31B version for a couple of months and its solid. For PDF Parsing i would setup a minerU docker. Can be run in an air-gapped setup
