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!
