OCR apps that actually get it done?

I have been testing some of the OCR apps (or apps that include such option) in the F-Droid repository, and honestly, none can give proper results. Even when black words in white paper are the only thing it has to transcribe to text, there are always mistakes. Sure, if the text I photograph is in English the result is slightly better, but the idea is exactly to photograph a text on another language (German, French, etc) and be able to translate it into English. The Translator app by David Ventura (using Mozilla models for local translation) gets the job of the translation done (not great, but pretty good for a fully local and on the fly choice). But the OCR is still erroneous most of the time. I have downloaded the models and addons marked as “best” and tried setting accuracy higher but… Seems not to work. I am open to using an AI model if it can be run locally (on my GNU/linux laptop I have a semi-working solution, but wanted something for the smartphone as well). Any other apps that could be helpful? Thanks!
