Introducing ATR-1 — our most advanced text recognition model yet

We’re excited to launch our most advanced model yet. ATR-1 sets a new benchmark for automated text recognition, transcribing handwritten and printed text with unprecedented accuracy and reliability.

What’s new?

  • Fewer hallucinations: Leo now more consistently avoids transcription errors like repeated or invented text, especially at the end of documents
  • More complete outputs: Significantly fewer blank pages and skipped lines, giving you fuller, more faithful transcripts
  • Smarter formatting: Enhanced recognition of structured layouts, including tables, margin notes, and other non-linear text features
  • Better with books: Improved performance on double-page spreads and printed texts that previously caused issues

What’s next?

  • Support for later medieval manuscripts (c. 1100–1500) written in Latin scripts
  • Improved transcription accuracy for modern European languages, including French, German, Italian, and more
  • More robust handling of damaged, distorted, or rotated images, enabling reliable transcription even in more challenging cases

How can I use it?

ATR-1 is now the default model on Leo. You can transcribe new or existing images using it by hitting “Transcribe” as usual. To get started, click here to access your Leo dashboard.
