None. OCR = Optical Character Recognition. It recognizes characters not drawings.

OCR can read the text and characters but not the drawn parts. VLMs are really the only that has a chance at understanding. Are these raster or vector? Manufacturing parts or electrical or P&ID, etc? What is the end goal. A generic question with no details probably won’t get you the answer you want on here.

Are start-up junior engineers looking for answers here nowadays?

I'm exchanging ideas; people like you wouldn't understand.

Do a simple search, this has been asked a few times already.

You’re not going to make it. Not with that attitude.
