Wow so if I’m reading this they charge about $1 USD per “document”?

I’ve been looking for an easy OCR solution considering I have about 10,000 one-page documents a month (invoices). For comparison, Amazon textract is ~$0.05/pg for key-value pairs, but it involves more programming to set up.

If you're looking for something that's robust and easy to setup but a bit more expensive than Textract, check out https://www.impira.com/ (Disclaimer: I am the founder/CEO there).

With an annual plan of 10,000 documents per month, we charge $0.04 per document. If you try it out, I'd love to hear your feedback on the quality of OCR!

I think you might like fintract[0]; never tried them just stumbled upon them.
