Nougat is Meta's neural OCR model that parses academic PDFs into structured Markdown, understanding LaTeX math and tables. It ships as a Python library with a CLI and optional API server.

Use cases

  • convert academic pdfs to markdown
  • extract latex math from pdf papers
  • ocr scientific documents with tables
  • parse research papers into text
  • digitize pdfs with equations
  • batch convert pdf directory to markdown

When to choose

  • you need math and table extraction from academic PDFs
  • you want Markdown output rather than plain OCR text
  • you have a GPU for faster inference

When to avoid

  • you need general-purpose OCR for non-academic documents
  • you need lightweight CPU-only processing
  • you need layout-preserving PDF conversion rather than Markdown
