Desktopfree

Franken OCR is a pure-Rust, CPU-only OCR command-line tool that runs document OCR, structured-format recognition, chart-data extraction, and sheet-music conversion through a family of small vision-language models, installed and run via the `focr` command. It requires no Python, CUDA, or GPU, making it suited to developers who need OCR on constrained or CPU-only hardware.
