Install

Notes:

• This app is not small. It automatically downloads a GLM-OCR checkpoint from huggingface (hf-mirror in China Mainland) at initial startup, which takes ~15 minutes and takes up ~2G disk space.
• After this initial download, it runs OCR inference on your own computer. Therefore, it is completely offline, but takes up a good chunk of memory.
