Deepseek-ocr cant read top right corner
DeepSeek OCR fails to extract text from the top-right section of the input page. Other areas are processed correctly, but the top-right region is either skipped or returns empty results.
I need to get the invoice number and series.
What I’ve tried:
Testing with multiple PDFs/images
Resizing and enhancing image quality
None of these approaches fixed the issue. Would appreciate any help, workarounds, or insights.
Are you rasterizing images from pdf and applying any kind of resizing?
I tried resizing the image to ALOT of sizes and option but top right corner is not being OCRed.. How to solve?
