+# OCR Benchmark Evaluation with olmOCR-Bench
+
+This benchmark evaluates OCR accuracy using the [olmOCR-Bench dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/olmOCR-bench) from AllenAI.
+
+## Dataset Information
+
+- **Dataset**: [allenai/olmOCR-bench](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/olmOCR-bench)
+- **Size**: 1,403 PDF files with 7,010 test cases
+- **Splits**: arxiv_math, headers_footers, long_tiny_text, multi_column, old_scans, old_scans_math, table_tests
+- **Purpose**: Evaluates OCR systems' ability to accurately convert PDFs to markdown while preserving textual and structural information
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Install dependencies:
+```bash
+pip install datasets huggingface_hub
+```
+
+2. Download the dataset (automatically done by setup script):
+```bash
+python benchmarks/ocr_benchmark/setup_ocr_bench.py
+```
+
+## Evaluation
+
+Run the evaluation:
+```bash
+# Evaluate on all splits
+python benchmarks/ocr_benchmark/evaluate_ocr_bench.py
+
+# Evaluate on specific split
+python benchmarks/ocr_benchmark/evaluate_ocr_bench.py --split arxiv_math
+
+# Limit number of samples
+python benchmarks/ocr_benchmark/evaluate_ocr_bench.py --max-samples 50
+```
+
+## Metrics
+
+- **Character Error Rate (CER)**: Percentage of character-level errors
+- **Word Error Rate (WER)**: Percentage of word-level errors
+- **Extraction Success Rate**: Percentage of PDFs successfully processed
+- **Processing Time**: Time taken for standard vs OCR extraction
+- **Test Case Pass Rate**: Percentage of test cases passed (if ground truth available)
+
+## Reference
+
+Based on the olmOCR-Bench paper and dataset from AllenAI.
