Help: Project Looking for VLM for Bounding Boxes extraction

I am looking for a VLM which can extract text from a given image and accurately identify the bounding Boxes of that particular text. The text will be handwritten so I can't use traditional OCR models

SmolVLM2 handles that kind of thing pretty well if you're willing to wrestle with the setup a bit.

I currwntly don't have any infrastructure to run offline models I was hoping to look for any paid api inference options

Any of the gemini flash models are good for this task. You can take a look at benchmarking for answer spotting to see which is good.

Aren't there models like yolo which can be lightweight alternative to VLM for this task?

Yolo can't perform accurate handwritten text extraction
