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
