Show HN: Online OCR Free – Batch OCR UI for Tesseract, Gemini and OpenRouter

https://onlineocrfree.qzz.io

Built this because people working with large document sets had no free tool that handled batch processing cleanly. Tesseract is free and runs locally. For anything that needs more accuracy — Google Vision, Gemini, or any OpenRouter model — you bring your own API key. No subscription, no markup on your usage. Export as TXT, JSON, XML or PDF. AI engines support custom prompts so you can translate, extract form fields, or get structured output in one step.

Very cool app! Beware that any free service will be completely swamped and abused once discovered by bad actors.
