I don't get how it's a competing product if it's not available externally? What field is it if you can answer that?

Sure, our company deals with business documents and typically sells products higher in the stack. Our OCR offering is available to customers, but only if they buy a significantly larger pack of products that does information extraction. As a matter of fact, OCR results are included in there, so customers could (and very rarely do) buy the whole package for OCR purposes only. It's just not advertised/sold independently, so it doesn't make much sense for most customers to buy it for that purpose (unless they have really tiny volumes) because price-wise is much more expensive than alternative products only selling OCR.
