It outperforms the competition significantly AND can extract embedded images from the text. I really like LLMs for OCR more and more. Gemini was already pretty good at it

Has anyone tried it for handwriting?

So far Gemini is the only model I can get decent output from for a particular hard handwriting task

This is $1 per 1000 pages.

For comparison, Azure Document Intelligence is $1.5/1000 pages for general OCR and $30/1000 pages for “custom extraction”.

Somehow, the HN system got this post duplicated. The other one is currently trending at #1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43282905. @dang, please do a merge.
