Why ChatGPT Struggles with Raw Scanned Documents
- Direct image uploads consume expensive vision tokens and can miss small or dense text.
- Language models hallucinate words when trying to read cursive, skewed, or degraded scans.
- Multi-page PDF scans cannot be uploaded directly as raw images without hitting file size limits.
- Complex document layouts, headers, and footers pollute the prompt context with noise.
