LlamaCloud and LlamaParse
You may want to try https://github.com/VikParuchuri/surya (I'm the author). I've only benchmarked against tesseract, but it outperforms it by a lot (benchmarks in repo). Happy to discuss.
You could also try https://github.com/VikParuchuri/marker for general PDF parsing (I'm also the author) - it seems like you're more focused on tables.

Show HN: Texify – OCR math images to LaTeX and Markdown
Hi HN - I made texify to convert equations to markdown/LaTeX for my project marker [1] then realized it could be generally useful.
Texify converts equations and surrounding text to Markdown, with embedded LaTeX (MathJax compatible).
You can either use a GUI to select equations (inline or block) from PDFs and images to convert, or use the CLI to batch convert images. It works on CPU, GPU, or MPS (Mac).
The closest open source comparisons are pix2tex and nougat - marker is more accurate than both of them for this task. However, nougat is more for entire pages, and pix2tex is more for block equations (not inline equations and text).
I trained texify for 2 days on 4x A6000 GPUs - I was pleasantly surprised how far I could get with limited GPU resources by reframing the problem to use small parameter counts/images.
Texify is licensed for commercial use, with the weights under CC-BY-SA 4.0. Fine them here - https://huggingface.co/vikp/texify .
See the texify repo for more details, benchmarks, how to install, etc.

Both are tools to convert pdfs into Latex or Markup with latex formulas. Maybe that helps

Notes on Emacs Org Mode
Sorry, but _what exactly_ «it seems to do» from your point of view?
My «second brain» now is almost 300Mb of text, pictures, sound files, PDF and other stuff. As I already mentioned, it contains tables, mathematical formulae, sheet music, cross-references, code samples, UML diagrams and graphs in Graphviz format. It is versioned, indexed by local search engine, analyzed by AI assistant and shared between many computers and mobile devices. And (last but not least) it works: it allows me to solve my tasks way more faster than with the assistant of external, non-personalized tools (like ChatGPT, StackExchange or Google).
I know no tools for all this tasks except org-mode. Well, maybe Evernote in the 2010-s was something similar — but with less features, with more bugs and with worse interface.
Personal note-taking _is_ a complex task per se (well, at least for someone like typical HN visitor). I've seen many note-taking tools, that were ridiculously featureless, stupid and inconvenient because they were _not_ complex enough.
> Sure if one wants to do emacs-gardening it is fine.
1)You can use org-mode outside Emacs. See for example Logseq (https://logseq.com/), organice (https://organice.200ok.ch/) or EasyOrg.
2)Org-mode works in Emacs out of the box, you don't need any «emacs-gardening» to use org-mode.
3)The term «Emacs-gardening» itself sound a bit like hate-speech for me. The complexity of Emacs customization is overrated, mostly due to opinions of people who never used Emacs or used it in the previous millennium.

Obsidian 1.5 Desktop (Public)
For an opensource alternative to Obsidian checkout Logseq (1). I spent a while thinking obsidian was opensource out of my own ignorance and was disappointed when I learned it was not.

I'm a science student and amateur web dev. Is this the right tool?
While Emacs and Org mode can certainly be used for this (and, when they can't, you can always inject little python/js scripts in your emacs config to take care of specific things), I'd also recommend you take a look at Logseq.

Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
My work notes (and email) has shifted into emacs but I'm still editing zimwiki formatted files w/ the many years of notes accumulated in it Though I've lost it moving to emacs, the Zim GUI has a nice backlink sidebar that's amazing for rediscovery. Zim also facilitates hierarchy (file and folder) renames which helps take the pressure off creating new files. I didn't make good use of the map plugin, but it's occasionally useful to see the graph of connected pages.
I'm (possibly unreasonably) frustrated with using the browser for editing text. Page loads and latency are noticeably, editor customization is limited, and shortcuts aren't what I've muscle memory for -- accidental ctrl-w (vim:swap focus, emacs/readline delete word) is devastating.
Zim and/or emacs is super speedy. Especially with local files. I using syncthing to get keep computers and phone synced. But, if starting fresh, I might look at things that using markdown or org-mode formatting instead. logseq (https://logseq.com/) looks pretty interesting there.
Sorry! Long answer.
