I just used AI studio for recognizing text from a relative's 60 day log of food ingested 3 times a day. I think I am using models/gemini-flash-latest and it was shockingly good at recognizing text, far better than ChatGPT 5.1 or Claude's Sonnet (IIRC its 4.5) model.
Its response I have captured here https://pasteboard.co/sbC7G9nuD9T9.png is shockingly good. I could only spot 2 mistakes. And those that seems to have been the ones even I could not read or was very difficult for me to make out what the text was.
I basically fed it all 60 images 5 at a time and made a table out of them to correlate sugar levels <-> food and colocate it with the person's exercise routines. This is insane.
