Could you build this?
Partial While an Electron or native macOS wrapper with basic UI is easy to make, high-accuracy offline OCR, document layout parsing, and bounding-box linking require integrating complex local ML vision models optimized via Apple CoreML.
What it would actually take: Building Okra requires a native Swift/macOS or Rust/Tauri desktop application leveraging Apple's Vision framework or quantized local ONNX/CoreML models (such as LayoutLMv3 or Surya/Marker). The hard part is accurate bounding-box detection, reading-order reconstruction, and precise table extraction entirely client-side without cloud APIs while keeping memory and CPU footprint acceptable on standard Macs. Developers need familiarity with macOS native UI development, CoreML optimization, and document structure serialization (PDF parsing down to token coordinates).
