Field notes
The page describes a sequence that combines Apple's on-device OCR, pattern matching, and Gemma 3: the model receives candidate text with a line of context, while OCR—not the model—reads the image. The first-run setup requires Ollama and a roughly 3.3 GB model download; the homepage says Intel Macs work but run more slowly. Its stated fail-safe behavior is to hide uncertain material.
