Cons
- -Requires external dependencies (Tesseract OCR and ImageMagick) which can complicate setup
- -Limited to PDF format only, doesn't support other document types
- -Two-step process requires separate training phase before use, adding workflow complexity
- -需要安装多个依赖组件（Docker、Ollama），初始设置较为复杂
- -本地运行PyTorch模型需要较大计算资源和存储空间
