Description
Marker is the most powerful open source pdf parser on the market, even beating mistral OCR.
Marker has the option of using google gemini flash to perform pdf OCR, which is available via an "Use LLM" toggle. The user can also select multiple OCR languages via a multi-select window, and document output format (markdown, json, or html). There are also other optional features that can be toggled on/off such as force_ocr, paginate, strip_existing_ocr, disable_image_extraction, and skip_cache, giving the user a lot of flexibility over the content extraction.
marker API support for RAG Document Content Extraction. Uses the official hosted version of marker, datalab.to. User signs up on datalab and creates an API key. Then in openwebui, select "Datalab Marker API" from the "content extraction Engine" list, enter the API key, and press save.
this is designed to be a "out of box" solution for those that want to use marker without having to deal with complex set-up and integration into OWUI.

Marker repo is here -
https://github.com/VikParuchuri/marker
The way this feature works is that it uses marker's official hosted API for accessing the marker OCR engine.

This addon specifically implements the marker API -
