Here's the even crazier 1918 letter - some mistakes, but this letter is very hard to read

it’s very good, but has the model likely seen the full transcriptions before given they’re so famous?

Possible, but same applies to the other models as well. If you send me an image, happy to test it

It needs to be improved in Arabic as it is not good at handwriting and "formation"... I hope you improve it This is the image of speech "by formation"

Still think all those models are very flawed. Combine multi column tables with some handwriting and they fail miserably. That’s why I run Miner U2.5 which is 1.2B model and can handle 99,9% of things Chandra with 9B does. Both fail on same problems though.
