+# Changelog
+
+## 0.1.0 (unreleased)
+
+First public release.
+
+- `readanydoc.parse` and `readanydoc.extract` as a Python library; `extract` takes a pydantic class or JSON Schema and
+  returns typed values with citations.
+- Two modes: `engine` (default) and `model-only`, both on Claude Haiku 5.5 at high effort; handwritten pages go to
+  Claude Sonnet 5.5.
+- Every model the pipeline uses can be chosen, with its effort and any provider request options. Anthropic, OpenAI
+  and OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
+- Reducto-compatible HTTP server: parse, extract, split, classify, edit, async jobs, webhooks, citations.
+- Benchmarks against Reducto r-1 on olmOCR-bench, OmniDocBench, RD-TableBench, FUNSD and long-document extraction
+  ([BENCHMARKS.md](BENCHMARKS.md)).

+# ReadAnyDoc
+
+Parse and extract documents with vision models, on your own machine and your own model account.
+Open source, Reducto-compatible, built by Unmute. Website: https://arpitpatel25.github.io/ReadAnyDoc/
+
+ReadAnyDoc reads every page of a PDF, scan, photo or Office file with a vision model (Claude Haiku 5.5 by default)
+and returns typed blocks, tables, Markdown, or the fields of your schema, each with the place on the page it came
+from. Around the model sits an engine that adds what a model alone does not give you: block types and positions,
+form fields, headers and footers, table checks, word-level citations. It runs as a Python library or as a server
+that speaks [Reducto](https://reducto.ai)'s HTTP API, so existing Reducto integrations work by changing one URL.
+
+```python
+import readanydoc
+
+result = readanydoc.parse("invoice.pdf")
+print(result.markdown)
+```
+
+## Results
+
+Five public benchmarks (about 4,250 pages and 10 long documents), each scored with the benchmark's own grader (no AI judge). Same
+documents and same requests for all three systems. Details and caveats: [BENCHMARKS.md](BENCHMARKS.md).
+
+| Benchmark | Reducto r-1 | Model only (Haiku 5.5) | ReadAnyDoc engine (Haiku 5.5) |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| olmOCR-bench, overall (1,403 pages) | 80.9 | 82.2 | **84.2** |
+| OmniDocBench, text error, lower is better (1,651 pages) | 0.095 | **0.081** | **0.081** |
+| OmniDocBench, layout: block types right | **84.6%** | 55.6% | 78.3% |
+| RD-TableBench (1,000 tables) | **88.9** | 88.2 | 88.2 |
+| FUNSD, form question/answer pairs (199 forms) | **78.6** | 71.6 | 77.4 |
+| Cost per page | $0.010 | $0.001-0.002 | $0.003-0.005 |
+
+Where Reducto is ahead: page layout (by about 6 points), formulas, header and footer removal, and speed
+(about 5 s a page against 20-50 s here).
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install "readanydoc[engine]"        # the engine: layout model and OCR run on your CPU
+pip install readanydoc                  # model-only mode, no local models
+```
+
+The engine also uses [Tesseract](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract) when it is installed
+(`brew install tesseract` / `apt install tesseract-ocr`). The layout and OCR weights (about 200 MB, Apache-2.0)
+are downloaded on first use, so the very first parse takes a few minutes longer; later runs start straight away. Python 3.12.
+
+Set your model provider's key: `export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...` (or `OPENAI_API_KEY` for OpenAI models).
+
+## Use
+
+### Parse
+
+```python
+result = readanydoc.parse("statement.pdf")
+result.blocks          # [Block(type="Table", content="<table>...", bbox=BoundingBox(...)), ...]
+result.tables          # the Table blocks
+result.markdown        # the whole document as Markdown
+result.usage           # model calls, tokens, cost in USD, seconds
+result.warnings        # anything that went wrong on a page
+```
+
+### Extract into your own types
+
+```python
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+
+class Invoice(BaseModel):
+    number: str
+    issued: str
+    total: float
+
+out = readanydoc.extract("invoice.pdf", schema=Invoice)
+out.data                      # Invoice(number="INV-2041", issued="2026-03-01", total=1575.0)
+out.citations["total"]        # [Citation(content="1,575.00", bbox=BoundingBox(page=1, left=0.81, ...))]
+```
+
+A JSON Schema dict works as well as a pydantic class. `instructions=` is the system prompt for the extraction
+model; `array_extract=True` processes long documents in parts and merges their lists.
+
+### Choose the mode and the models
+
+| Mode | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `engine` (default) | The model reads each page; the engine adds layout, forms, headers/footers, table checks and citations |
+| `model-only` | One model read per page and nothing else: cheapest, fastest, no structure beyond what the model writes |
+
+Every model the pipeline uses can be chosen, with its effort level and any further request options:
+
+```python
+readanydoc.parse(
+    "form.pdf",
+    mode="engine",
+    model="claude-haiku-5-5", effort="high",                 # page reading (the default)
+    model_options={"max_tokens": 32000},                     # sent as given to the provider
+    handwriting_model="claude-sonnet-5-5",                   # handwritten pages (the default); None = like any page
+)
+
+readanydoc.extract("contract.pdf", schema=Terms,
+                 model="claude-haiku-5-5",                   # reads the pages
+                 extract_model="claude-sonnet-5-5", extract_effort="high")   # fills the schema
+```
+
+Models: any Claude model, OpenAI models (`gpt-...`), or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint written as
+`openai_compatible:<model>@<base_url>`. The benchmark numbers above are for Claude Haiku 5.5; other models work
+but have not been measured here.
+
+### Command line
+
+```bash
+readanydoc parse invoice.pdf --markdown
+readanydoc parse scan.pdf --mode model-only --model claude-sonnet-5-5
+readanydoc extract invoice.pdf --schema invoice.schema.json
+```
+
+### Server (Reducto-compatible API)
+
+```bash
+readanydoc serve --port 8000
+# or: docker compose up
+```
+
+```python
+from reducto import Reducto   # Reducto's own SDK, unchanged
+
+client = Reducto(api_key="anything", base_url="http://127.0.0.1:8000")
+upload = client.upload(file=Path("invoice.pdf"))
+result = client.parse.run(input=upload.file_id)
+```
+
+Parse, extract, split, classify, edit, async jobs, webhooks and citations are implemented. Configuration,
+security settings and a route-by-route compatibility table: [docs/server.md](docs/server.md).
+
+## How it works
+
+Each page goes through a fixed sequence of stages (`readanydoc/pipeline/`): intake (file type, pages), triage
+(digital or scanned, rotation), layout (an open layout model on CPU), read (the vision model; zoomed re-reads of
+scanned pages where two reads must agree before a character changes; handwritten pages to a stronger model),
+verify (table grids and printed totals checked without a model), ground (word and cell positions, block types,
+form fields), assemble and shape (the requested output format). Nothing the model wrote is changed without
+independent evidence. Design decisions and their reasons: [docs/decisions.md](docs/decisions.md).
+
+## Limits
+
+- Slower than Reducto: 20-50 s per page here against about 5 s.
+- About 1.5-3% of pages in large public benchmarks come back empty because the model provider declines to return
+  their text (content filtering); the response says so in `warnings`.
+- Confidence values are tiers from how a value was found on the page, not calibrated probabilities.

+result = readanydoc.parse("statement.pdf")
+result.blocks          # [Block(type="Table", content="<table>...", bbox=BoundingBox(...)), ...]
+result.tables          # the Table blocks
+result.markdown        # the whole document as Markdown
+result.usage           # model calls, tokens, cost in USD, seconds
+result.warnings        # anything that went wrong on a page
+```
+
+### Extract into your own types
+
+```python
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+
+class Invoice(BaseModel):
+    number: str
+    issued: str
+    total: float
+
+out = readanydoc.extract("invoice.pdf", schema=Invoice)
+out.data                      # Invoice(number="INV-2041", issued="2026-03-01", total=1575.0)
+out.citations["total"]        # [Citation(content="1,575.00", bbox=BoundingBox(page=1, left=0.81, ...))]
+```
+
+A JSON Schema dict works as well as a pydantic class. `instructions=` is the system prompt for the extraction
+model; `array_extract=True` processes long documents in parts and merges their lists.
+
+### Choose the mode and the models
+
+| Mode | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `engine` (default) | The model reads each page; the engine adds layout, forms, headers/footers, table checks and citations |
+| `model-only` | One model read per page and nothing else: cheapest, fastest, no structure beyond what the model writes |
+
+Every model the pipeline uses can be chosen, with its effort level and any further request options:
+
+```python
+readanydoc.parse(
+    "form.pdf",
+    mode="engine",
+    model="claude-haiku-5-5", effort="high",                 # page reading (the default)
+    model_options={"max_tokens": 32000},                     # sent as given to the provider
+    handwriting_model="claude-sonnet-5-5",                   # handwritten pages (the default); None = like any page
+)
+
+readanydoc.extract("contract.pdf", schema=Terms,
+                 model="claude-haiku-5-5",                   # reads the pages
+                 extract_model="claude-sonnet-5-5", extract_effort="high")   # fills the schema
+```
+
+Models: any Claude model, OpenAI models (`gpt-...`), or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint written as
+`openai_compatible:<model>@<base_url>`. The benchmark numbers above are for Claude Haiku 5.5; other models work
+but have not been measured here.
+
+### Command line
+
+```bash
+readanydoc parse invoice.pdf --markdown
+readanydoc parse scan.pdf --mode model-only --model claude-sonnet-5-5
+readanydoc extract invoice.pdf --schema invoice.schema.json
+```
+
+### Server (Reducto-compatible API)
+
+```bash
+readanydoc serve --port 8000
+# or: docker compose up
+```
+
+```python
+from reducto import Reducto   # Reducto's own SDK, unchanged
+
+client = Reducto(api_key="anything", base_url="http://127.0.0.1:8000")
+upload = client.upload(file=Path("invoice.pdf"))
+result = client.parse.run(input=upload.file_id)
+```
+
+Parse, extract, split, classify, edit, async jobs, webhooks and citations are implemented. Configuration,
+security settings and a route-by-route compatibility table: [docs/server.md](docs/server.md).
+
+## How it works
+
+Each page goes through a fixed sequence of stages (`readanydoc/pipeline/`): intake (file type, pages), triage
+(digital or scanned, rotation), layout (an open layout model on CPU), read (the vision model; zoomed re-reads of
+scanned pages where two reads must agree before a character changes; handwritten pages to a stronger model),
+verify (table grids and printed totals checked without a model), ground (word and cell positions, block types,
+form fields), assemble and shape (the requested output format). Nothing the model wrote is changed without
+independent evidence. Design decisions and their reasons: [docs/decisions.md](docs/decisions.md).
+
+## Limits
+
+- Slower than Reducto: 20-50 s per page here against about 5 s.
+- About 1.5-3% of pages in large public benchmarks come back empty because the model provider declines to return
+  their text (content filtering); the response says so in `warnings`.
+- Confidence values are tiers from how a value was found on the page, not calibrated probabilities.

+Where to look in `journey.md` for common questions:
+
+- *Why a layer around a general model and not a trained model?* Sections 1 and 6.
+- *Why no AI judge?* Section 16 and lesson 2.
+- *Why do some early results disagree with the final ones?* Section 23 and Appendix A (every reversal).
+- *What exactly does the shipped engine do?* Appendix B.
+- *What did it cost to build and measure?* Appendix C.
+- *Was idea X tried?* Appendix D, the experiment ledger.
