A subset of OmniHandwritingOCR (East China Normal University, 2026): 12,999 multi-line handwritten formulas from newly collected student solutions and CC-OCR, in the hard difficulty stratum. Systems transcribe each image to Markdown zero-shot, scored by 1-NED, one minus the normalized edit distance to the ground truth, in percent; higher is better.

Metric: 1-NED (%; one minus the normalized Levenshtein distance between the transcription and the ground truth, averaged over 12,999 hard multi-line handwritten formula images (CC-OCR and newly collected solutions); zero-shot Markdown transcription from one image with one task-neutral instruction for every system; task-specific normalization and tokenization, no semantic correction).
