# OCR Models

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) models convert documents such as PDFs, scans, and images into clean, structured text. These vision-language models process visual content end-to-end, making them ideal for document digitization, data extraction, and content accessibility workflows.

* [<mark style="color:blue;">**LightOnOCR-2-1B**</mark>](/cloud/ai/ai-model-hub/models/ocr-models/lightonocr-2-1b.md)**:** A compact 1B-parameter end-to-end multilingual vision-language model by LightOn. Converts document images (scans, images) into clean, naturally ordered text with strong multilingual, LaTeX, and scan coverage. Accepts image input only — PDFs must be converted to images before sending them to the API.
