11
+ ### Markdown Rendering Support (Added 2025-08-01)
12
+
13
+ The application now supports rendering markdown-formatted VLM output for improved readability:
14
+
15
+ **Features:**
16
+ - Automatic markdown detection in improved OCR text
17
+ - Toggle button to switch between raw markdown and rendered view
18
+ - Support for common markdown elements: headers, lists, tables, code blocks, links
19
+ - Security-focused implementation with XSS prevention
20
+ - Performance optimization with render caching
21
+
22
+ **Implementation Details:**
23
+ - Uses marked.js library for markdown parsing
24
+ - Custom renderers for security (sanitizes URLs, prevents script injection)
25
+ - Tailwind-styled markdown elements matching the app's design
26
+ - HTML table support for VLM outputs that use table tags
27
+ - Cache system limits memory usage to 50 rendered items
28
+
29
+ **UI Changes:**
30
+ - Markdown toggle button appears when markdown is detected
31
+ - "Markdown Detected" badge in statistics panel
32
+ - New "Markdown Diff" mode showing plain vs rendered comparison
33
+ - Both "Improved Only" and "Side by Side" views support rendering

191
 
192
+ ### Issue: Markdown tables not rendering
193
+ **Cause**: Default marked.js settings and HTML security restrictions
194
+ **Fix**:
195
+ - Enabled `tables: true` in marked.js options
196
+ - Added safe HTML table tag allowlist in renderer
197
+ - Applied proper Tailwind CSS classes to table elements
198
+ - Added CSS overrides for prose container compatibility

+ ## Mobile Support Status
201
+
202
+ While the application claims responsive design, the current mobile support is limited. A comprehensive mobile enhancement is planned but not yet implemented. See [mobile-enhancement-plan.md](mobile-enhancement-plan.md) for detailed technical requirements and implementation approach.
203
+
204
+ **Current limitations:**
205
+ - Fixed desktop layout doesn't adapt well to small screens
206
+ - No touch gesture support for navigation
207
+ - Small touch targets for buttons and inputs
208
+ - Desktop-only interactions (hover states, keyboard shortcuts)
209
+
210
+ **Planned improvements:**
211
+ - Responsive stacked layout for mobile devices
212
+ - Touch gestures (swipe for navigation)
213
+ - Mobile-optimized navigation bar
214
+ - Touch-friendly UI components
215
+
216
  ## Future Enhancements
217
 
218
+ - [ ] Comprehensive mobile support (see mobile-enhancement-plan.md)
219
  - [ ] Search/filter within dataset
220
  - [ ] Bookmark favorite samples
221
  - [ ] Export selected texts
 
246
  ## Testing Datasets
247
 
248
  Known working datasets:
249
+ - `davanstrien/exams-ocr` - Default dataset with exam papers (uses `text` and `markdown` columns)
250
+ - `davanstrien/rolm-test` - Victorian theatre playbills processed with RolmOCR (uses `text` and `rolmocr_text` columns, includes `inference_info` metadata)
251
  - Any dataset with image + text columns
252
 
253
  Column patterns automatically detected:
254
  - Original: `text`, `ocr`, `original_text`, `ground_truth`
255
+ - Improved: `markdown`, `new_ocr`, `corrected_text`, `vlm_ocr`, `rolmocr_text`
256
+ - Metadata: `inference_info` (JSON array with model details, processing date, parameters)
257
+
258
+ ## Recent Updates
259
+
260
+ ### Model Information Display (Added 2025-08-04)
261
+
262
+ The application now displays model processing information when available:
263
+
264
+ **Features:**
265
+ - Automatic detection of `inference_info` column
266
+ - Model metadata panel showing: model name, processing date, batch size, max tokens
267
+ - Link to processing script when available
268
+ - Positioned prominently below image for immediate visibility
269
+
270
+ **Implementation Notes:**
271
+ - The model info panel only appears when `inference_info` column exists
272
+ - Supports datasets processed with UV scripts via HF Jobs
273
+ - Gracefully handles datasets without model metadata

+ How well do VLM-based OCR models handle Victorian theatre playbills? 🎭
2
+
3
+ Last week I shared OCR Time Capsule for comparing traditional vs VLM-based OCR. I've now added some examples from challenging collections: The British Library's Theatrical playbills from Britain and Ireland collection.
4
+
5
+ These 150-year-old documents are brutal for OCR:
6
+ - Decorative fonts in every size imaginable
7
+ - Multi-column layouts with text at odd angles
8
+ - Faded ink and show-through from the reverse
9
+ - ALL CAPS DRAMATIC ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!
10
+
11
+ For this dataset I used the RolmOCR model from Reducto (processed via HF Jobs - love how easy UV scripts make GPU inference!). The results? The improvements over traditional OCR are even more dramatic than with exam papers.
12
+
13
+ πŸ”— Explore the app: https://huggingface.co/spaces/davanstrien/ocr-time-capsule
14
+ πŸ“š BL Theatre dataset: https://bl.iro.bl.uk/concern/datasets/a8534aff-c8e3-4fc8-adc1-da542080b1e3
15
+
16
+ I'll continue to work through the suggestions I got last week but feel free to suggest other hairy OCR challenges to compare VLMs vs existing OCR!

+ # Mobile Enhancement Plan for OCR Time Capsule
2
+
3
+ ## Overview
4
+
5
+ This document outlines the technical requirements for implementing comprehensive mobile support in OCR Time Capsule. While the application claims mobile support, the current implementation has significant limitations that prevent a good mobile user experience.
6
+
7
+ **Estimated Effort:** 800-1,200 lines of code changes
8
+ **Complexity:** Medium-High
9
+ **Development Time:** 3-5 days for full implementation, 2 days for MVP
10
+
11
+ ## Current Mobile Limitations
12
+
13
+ 1. **Fixed desktop layout** - Rigid 1/3 + 2/3 split doesn't adapt to small screens
14
+ 2. **No touch support** - Navigation relies entirely on keyboard shortcuts
15
+ 3. **Fixed positioning issues** - Footer overlaps content on mobile browsers
16
+ 4. **Small touch targets** - Buttons/inputs too small for finger interaction
17
+ 5. **Desktop-only interactions** - Hover states, dropdown menus not touch-friendly
18
+ 6. **Overflow problems** - Content gets cut off due to fixed heights
19
+
20
+ ## Required Changes
21
+
22
+ ### 1. Layout Restructuring (Critical)
23
+
24
+ **Current:** Fixed side-by-side layout
25
+ ```html
26
+ <!-- Current structure -->
27
+ <div class="flex-1 flex h-full">
28
+ <div class="w-1/3">...</div> <!-- Image panel -->
29
+ <div class="flex-1">...</div> <!-- Text panel -->
30
+ </div>
31
+ ```
32
+
33
+ **Required:** Responsive stacked layout
34
+ ```html
35
+ <!-- Mobile-first approach -->
36
+ <div class="flex flex-col md:flex-row h-full">
37
+ <div class="w-full md:w-1/3">...</div>
38
+ <div class="w-full md:flex-1">...</div>
39
+ </div>
40
+ ```
41
+
42
+ **Changes needed:**
43
+ - Update all layout containers in `index.html` (~50 lines)
44
+ - Add mobile-specific CSS classes (~100 lines)
45
+ - Implement collapsible image panel for mobile
46
+
47
+ ### 2. Touch Navigation Implementation
48
+
49
+ **New JavaScript required in `app.js`:**
50
+ ```javascript
51
+ // Touch gesture handling
52
+ let touchStartX = 0;
53
+ let touchEndX = 0;
54
+
55
+ initTouchNavigation() {
56
+ const container = document.getElementById('main-content');
57
+
58
+ container.addEventListener('touchstart', (e) => {
59
+ touchStartX = e.changedTouches[0].screenX;
60
+ });
61
+
62
+ container.addEventListener('touchend', (e) => {
63
+ touchEndX = e.changedTouches[0].screenX;
64
+ this.handleSwipe();
65
+ });
66
+ }
67
+
68
+ handleSwipe() {
69
+ const swipeThreshold = 50;
70
+ const diff = touchStartX - touchEndX;
71
+
72
+ if (Math.abs(diff) > swipeThreshold) {
73
+ if (diff > 0) {
74
+ this.nextSample(); // Swipe left
75
+ } else {
76
+ this.previousSample(); // Swipe right
77
+ }
78
+ }
79
+ }
80
+ ```
81
+
82
+ **Scope:** ~150 lines for complete touch support including:
83
+ - Swipe detection
84
+ - Touch feedback
85
+ - Gesture velocity calculation
86
+ - Preventing accidental triggers
87
+
88
+ ### 3. Mobile Navigation UI
89
+
90
+ **Replace fixed footer with mobile-friendly navigation:**
91
+ ```html
92
+ <!-- Mobile navigation bar -->
93
+ <nav class="md:hidden fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 border-t">
94
+ <div class="grid grid-cols-3 h-16">
95
+ <button class="flex items-center justify-center" @click="previousSample()">
96
+ <svg class="w-8 h-8">...</svg>
97
+ </button>
98
+ <button class="flex items-center justify-center" @click="showPageSelector = true">
99
+ <span class="text-lg font-medium" x-text="`${currentIndex + 1}/${totalSamples}`"></span>
100
+ </button>
101
+ <button class="flex items-center justify-center" @click="nextSample()">
102
+ <svg class="w-8 h-8">...</svg>
103
+ </button>
104
+ </div>
105
+ </nav>
106
+ ```
107
+
108
+ **Changes:** ~100 lines for navigation components
109
+
110
+ ### 4. Touch-Friendly Components
111
+
112
+ **Update all interactive elements:**
113
+ - Minimum touch target size: 44x44px
114
+ - Add `touch-action` CSS properties
115
+ - Increase padding on all buttons
116
+ - Replace hover menus with tap-to-open modals
117
+
118
+ **Example button update:**
119
+ ```html
120
+ <!-- Before -->
121
+ <button class="px-2 py-1 text-sm">Load</button>
122
+
123
+ <!-- After -->
124
+ <button class="px-4 py-3 md:px-2 md:py-1 text-base md:text-sm min-w-[44px] min-h-[44px] md:min-w-0 md:min-h-0">
125
+ Load
126
+ </button>
127
+ ```
128
+
129
+ ### 5. Mobile Dock/Gallery
130
+
131
+ **Transform desktop dock to mobile carousel:**
132
+ ```javascript
133
+ // Mobile-optimized thumbnail gallery
134
+ initMobileGallery() {
135
+ this.mobileGallery = {
136
+ currentIndex: 0,
137
+ itemsPerView: 3,
138
+ thumbnails: []
139
+ };
140
+
141
+ // Horizontal scroll with snap points
142
+ const gallery = document.getElementById('mobile-gallery');
143
+ gallery.style.scrollSnapType = 'x mandatory';
144
+ gallery.style.overflowX = 'auto';
145
+ gallery.style.webkitOverflowScrolling = 'touch';
146
+ }
147
+ ```
148
+
149
+ **Scope:** ~200 lines for mobile gallery implementation
150
+
151
+ ### 6. Responsive Breakpoints
152
+
153
+ **Implement proper breakpoint system:**
154
+ ```css
155
+ /* Mobile first approach */
156
+ /* Base: Mobile (< 640px) */
157
+ .container {
158
+ display: block;
159
+ padding: 1rem;
160
+ }
161
+
162
+ /* Tablet (640px - 1024px) */
163
+ @media (min-width: 640px) {
164
+ .container {
165
+ display: flex;
166
+ padding: 1.5rem;
167
+ }
168
+ }
169
+
170
+ /* Desktop (> 1024px) */
171
+ @media (min-width: 1024px) {
172
+ .container {
173
+ padding: 2rem;
174
+ }
175
+ }
176
+ ```
177
+
178
+ ### 7. Performance Optimizations
179
+
180
+ **Mobile-specific optimizations:**
181
+ - Lazy load images with Intersection Observer
182
+ - Reduce initial JavaScript bundle
183
+ - Implement virtual scrolling for large datasets
184
+ - Add `will-change` CSS for smooth animations
185
+
186
+ ## Implementation Approach
187
+
188
+ ### Phase 1: MVP (2 days)
189
+ 1. Basic responsive layout
190
+ 2. Touch navigation (swipe gestures)
191
+ 3. Mobile-friendly buttons
192
+ 4. Fix overflow issues
193
+
194
+ ### Phase 2: Enhanced Mobile UX (2 days)
195
+ 1. Mobile navigation bar
196
+ 2. Touch-optimized dock
197
+ 3. Page selector modal
198
+ 4. Gesture refinements
199
+
200
+ ### Phase 3: Polish (1 day)
201
+ 1. Performance optimizations
202
+ 2. PWA features
203
+ 3. Cross-device testing
204
+ 4. Documentation
205
+
206
+ ## Testing Requirements
207
+
208
+ ### Devices to Test
209
+ - **iOS:** iPhone SE, iPhone 12/13, iPad
210
+ - **Android:** Various screen sizes (5", 6", 7")
211
+ - **Browsers:** Safari iOS, Chrome Android, Firefox Mobile
212
+
213
+ ### Key Test Scenarios
214
+ 1. Portrait/landscape orientation changes
215
+ 2. Touch gesture accuracy
216
+ 3. Text readability at different zoom levels
217
+ 4. Navigation button accessibility
218
+ 5. Image loading performance on slow connections
219
+
220
+ ## Code Impact Summary
221
+
222
+ | Component | Lines Changed | Complexity |
223
+ |-----------|--------------|------------|
224
+ | HTML Layout | 150-200 | Medium |
225
+ | CSS/Tailwind | 200-300 | Low-Medium |
226
+ | Touch Events | 150 | High |
227
+ | Mobile Navigation | 100 | Medium |
228
+ | Gallery/Dock | 200 | High |
229
+ | **Total** | **800-1,200** | **Medium-High** |
230
+
231
+ ## Priority Recommendations
232
+
233
+ 1. **Must Have:** Responsive layout, basic touch navigation
234
+ 2. **Should Have:** Mobile navigation bar, touch-friendly buttons
235
+ 3. **Nice to Have:** Gesture refinements, PWA features, animations
236
+
237
+ The most critical change is the layout restructuring - without this, other mobile features won't work properly. Start there and build up progressively.

+ # Multi-OCR Engine Comparison UI Patterns
2
+
3
+ ## Executive Summary
4
+
5
+ This document outlines UI design patterns for comparing the results of 5+ OCR engines in the OCR Time Capsule application. Based on research of existing comparison tools and UI best practices, we recommend a hybrid approach combining selective comparison, matrix views, and progressive disclosure.
6
+
7
+ ## Key Design Constraints
8
+
9
+ 1. **Human Cognitive Limits**: Users can effectively compare 3-7 items simultaneously
10
+ 2. **Screen Real Estate**: Limited horizontal space for side-by-side comparisons
11
+ 3. **Information Density**: Need to show both text content and metadata
12
+ 4. **Performance**: Rendering 5+ full texts simultaneously can impact performance
13
+
14
+ ## Recommended UI Patterns
15
+
16
+ ### 1. Selective Comparison Mode (Primary Recommendation)
17
+
18
+ Allow users to select 2-4 engines for detailed comparison from a larger set.

244
+ ```
245
+
246
+ ## Performance Optimizations
247
+
248
+ 1. **Lazy Loading**: Only load full text when expanded/selected
249
+ 2. **Virtual Scrolling**: For long documents
250
+ 3. **Caching**: Store OCR results client-side
251
+ 4. **Progressive Enhancement**: Start with 2-3 engines, load more on demand
252
+
253
+ ## Recommended Implementation Priority
254
+
255
+ 1. **Phase 1**: Selective Comparison (2-4 engines)
256
+ 2. **Phase 2**: Matrix Overview with metrics
257
+ 3. **Phase 3**: Consensus/Voting view
258
+ 4. **Phase 4**: Advanced features (layers, history, etc.)
259
+
260
+ ## Accessibility Considerations
261
+
262
+ - Keyboard navigation between engines
263
+ - Screen reader announcements for differences
264
+ - High contrast mode for diff highlighting
265
+ - Alternative text descriptions for visual comparisons
266
+
267
+ ## Conclusion
268
+
269
+ The selective comparison pattern combined with a matrix overview provides the best balance of usability and functionality for comparing 5+ OCR engines. This approach:
270
+
271
+ - Respects cognitive limits (3-7 items)
272
+ - Provides overview and detail views
273
+ - Scales to any number of engines
274
+ - Maintains performance
275
+ - Works on mobile devices
276
+
277
+ The key is progressive disclosure: show summary information for all engines, but limit detailed comparison to user-selected subsets.
