**KarantaOCR-Bench** is a unit-test–style evaluation dataset, similar to [olmOCR-bench](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/olmOCR-bench). It consists of **70 PDF documents** and **300 test cases** spanning multiple document types.
All the tests were manually verified by us.
KarantaOCR-Bench is designed specifically to evaluate document text extraction for **Documents with diacritics and special characters**, covering a diverse range of document formats and languages commonly under-represented in existing OCR benchmarks.
### Data Schema
Below is a schema of each test case and what it means:
- `pdf [str]`: This is the name of the pdf file in the `pdf` directory
- `page [str]`: This is the page of the document for this test case
- `id [str]`: Unique ID for this test case
- `type [str]`: This is the test type; a description of each test type can be found in the next section
- `max_diffs [int]`: This is the maximum allowable difference in the OCR outputs and test case for it to pass
- `text [str]`: This is the text span that we search for in the OCR outputt.
- `case_sensitive [bool]`: This indicates whether the test case is case sensitive or not
- `checked [str]`: This indicates whether or not we have verified this test case manually
- `url [str]`: The original file name of the document
- `before [str]`: This only applies to text-order tests and this is the text span that should exist before
- `after [str]`:This only applies to text-order tests and this is the text span that should exist after
### Test Case Types
KarantaOCR-Bench is designed to augment OlmoOCR test with an additional test category for Diacritics and Special Chars:
* **Presence:**
Presence tests check whether a provided span of text exists in the OCR output. Matches are evaluated with a tolerance defined by the `max_diffs` field, allowing for limited character-level differences.
## Results
