Research direction

Begin by reading the OCRBlock implementation and the surrounding inference and workflows concepts mentioned in the issue, then compare how the existing DocTR model is encapsulated. The issue is an open discussion rather than a defined task, so a completed change would first require deciding which OCR models and workflow blocks should be supported and agreeing on acceptance criteria.
