Baseer

Baseer is an Arabic document intelligence engine built on a 3-billion-parameter vision-language model fine-tuned specifically for Arabic. Unlike standard OCR tools that produce raw text strings, Baseer reads documents structurally: it understands columns, tables, headers, and layout hierarchy, then outputs clean Markdown that is usable downstream. It is trained on a large-scale dataset combining synthetic and real-world Arabic documents, using a decoder-only fine-tuning strategy that adapts a pre-trained multimodal model while preserving its visual understanding. Benchmarked on Misraj-DocOCR, an expert-verified Arabic OCR benchmark, Baseer achieves a Word Error Rate of 0.25.
