How do you do, fellow TrOCR fine-tuner?

I'm using TrOCR because it's a smaller model that I can fine tune on a consumer card, but the age of the model and resources certainly make it a challenge. The official notebook for fine tuning hasn't been updated in years and has several errors due to the march of progress in the primary packages.

I think I based my notebook on the official example but yes at some point new versions of the libraries completely broke it. I had to pin the versions for it to work again.

This one works, you can check the versions https://pastebin.com/QPjGHN8j
