# Parse agent-ready PDFs and document images with MonkeyOCR

Run MonkeyOCR over PDFs, scanned pages, formulas, and tables to produce structured Markdown/text that downstream agents can ingest and reason over.

## Prerequisites

Python environment, CUDA-capable GPU or supported inference backend, Hugging Face Hub or ModelScope access for model weights, PDF or image documents to parse

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- pip install huggingface_hub
- pip install modelscope
- docker compose build monkeyocr
- docker pull zenosai/monkeyocr:260304

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- python
- python tools/download_model.py -n MonkeyOCR-pro-3B # or MonkeyOCR-pro-1.2B, MonkeyOCR
- python tools/download_model.py -t modelscope -n MonkeyOCR-pro-3B # or MonkeyOCR-pro-1.2B, MonkeyOCR
