1//! OCR for scanned pages, via the PP-OCRv3 recognition model (CRNN/SVTR) run
2//! with `ort`. The layout model already locates text regions on the page image
3//! (it works without a text layer), so OCR only needs *recognition*: each text
4//! region is cropped, split into lines by horizontal projection, and each line
5//! is recognised and decoded with CTC — producing [`TextCell`]s the normal
6//! layout assembly then consumes. This avoids a separate text-detection model.

74/// - `PdfAwareLayoutRegions` (upstream's **default**): OCR only layout regions

76/// scanned pages OCR their regions, digital pages OCR only text-less bitmap

79/// everything. Both map onto the [`force_full_page_ocr`] machinery (discard
80/// the text layer, OCR every layout region): the upstream distinction —
81/// whole-page vs per-region *detector* input — has no analogue in this
82/// engine, whose PP-OCR recognizer always consumes per-region line crops.
