## Description

Llama-ocr is a library designed to convert images and documents into structured markdown by leveraging multimodal vision models. It functions as a vision-based text extractor and document parser, identifying and transcribing both textual content and spatial layout from image-based files.

The tool utilizes large vision models to perform zero-shot layout parsing, allowing it to interpret document structures without the need for task-specific training data. It employs prompt-driven extraction to guide the model in formatting raw visual data into consistent markdown syntax, while operating through a stateless API orchestration model that processes image payloads without maintaining persistent server-side state.

This utility supports automated data extraction and document digitization, enabling the transformation of scanned files or images into searchable, editable text. It integrates vision-language model inference into software pipelines to assist with knowledge base maintenance and the conversion of visual information into machine-readable formats.
