原帖原话What was actually said

“We need to extract a text string from documents… 20 different formats and sometimes needs OCR. Is there an API that does this for you?”

“调 LLM 时我们经常要先从文档里抽出文本，而文档可能有 20 种格式、有时还要 OCR。有没有一个 API 直接帮你做完，好让我们直接喂给模型？”

RAG 与文档类应用的第一道坎不是模型，而是解析：扫描件、合并单元格表格、多栏 PDF 全都得一一定制。

The first wall in RAG isn't the model, it's parsing: scans, merged-cell tables and multi-column PDFs all break.
