Docling with the EasyOCR engine extracted the Cyrillic text and page structure from a scanned Soviet cookbook, but it dropped text where the pages curved away from the camera. That data loss makes this configuration insufficient on its own for the soviet.recipes project. I tested four sample pages configured for Russian and English, using Kiro.dev to write the script.

Phase 1 of the soviet.recipes project is done: every page of the cookbook is now captured as a set of 224 high-resolution DSLR images. Now I'm planning how to turn those images into machine-readable text.
