A developer re-OCR'd the complete 1771 Encyclopaedia Britannica (2,724 pages) with Baidu's new Unlimited-OCR-2. The model reads many pages per request (Baidu demos a whole book in one go), so sentences split across page breaks come back intact. Cost: $0.0012/page, $3.40 total via one command on Hugging Face Jobs — down from $5 in February using a 0.9B GLM-OCR on an L4 GPU. The screenshot shows a cross-page sentence correctly joined.
