I'm curious, how does it do with non-english texts? It's my understanding that LLM-based OCR solutions fall way behind traditional ones once you introduce other languages.

Understanding or experience?

Because my experience is not at all like that. If I use both Google Translate and ChatGPT on an image, ChatGPT is pretty much always better. It can even translate Japanese hand written menus quite well. With the added benefit of it being able to add context and explain what the dishes are.
