" VoucherVision uses the U-M GPT Toolkit, but it also includes support for OpenAI API, Google PaLM 2, Google Gemini, local LLMs (such as Mixtral and Meta Llama 2), and private OpenAI via Azure to make it more universal for others to use as an open-source project.

While the U-M Herbarium has not deployed VoucherVision at scale yet, our initial calculations suggest that It reduces overall transcription costs by 40–60%. In addition to immediate cost and time savings, the automation frees up valuable time for researchers to focus on more complex tasks and analyses.

Researchers across more than a dozen campuses and museums are using VoucherVision in collaboration with our Herbarium collection managers. For more information about or to participate in testing VoucherVision, please fill out their Google Form."
