Show HN: OCR Arena – A playground for OCR models

I built OCR Arena as a free playground for the community to compare leading foundation VLMs and open-source OCR models side-by-side.

Upload any doc, measure accuracy, and (optionally) vote for the models on a public leaderboard.

It currently has Gemini 3, dots.ocr, DeepSeek, GPT5, olmOCR 2, Qwen, and a few others. If there's any others you'd like included, let me know!

We've got like 10 LLM arenas but nothing for OCR yet, really hope this takes off!

Nice! Would love to see Azure Document Intelligence on this
