Mistral OCR is really good and their small models are great for simple translations, I use them regularly.
Of course I’m not always on the most bleeding edge forefront of the latest hyped model so there might be better alternatives, but I’m happy with what they provide
Their OCR did worse at reading a 40 page PDF of printed text than tesseract for me, I just paid $2 for useless output
