Description

I installed Ollama's aya-expanse on my PC to achieve higher quality OCR results.

However, I couldn't find any guide on how to configure it for use within the OCR menu of BallonsTranslator.

Could you please tell me how to use Ollama's aya-expanse through llm_ocr? I’m quite sure it’s possible, but no matter how many different ways I try, I keep getting error messages...

Aya expanse is a translation LLM not an OCR, you would need to run a seperate LLM specifically made for OCR or one that incorporates such a functionality such as Gemma 3. In that case I am unsure of the functionality of Ollama and you may want to consider switching to llama.cpp.
