Google Cloud Vision API offers powerful pre-trained machine learning models through REST and RPC APIs. Assign labels to images and quickly classify them into millions of predefined categories. Detect objects and faces, read printed and handwritten text, and build valuable metadata into your image catalog.

Google Vision API offers you Cloud Services and AI technologies of Big G itself, decades of the best AI experience for a reasonable mostly flat rates.

Amazon Textract API will allow you to automatically extract handwriting, text or data from any document using machine learning. Amazon Textract is a service that automatically detects and extracts text and data from scanned documents. It goes beyond simple optical character recognition (OCR) to also identify the contents of fields in forms and information stored in tables

Amazon Textract API offers you AWS Cloud Services and good and easy way to implement OCR into your existing AWS . It is a safe bet that the future  of OCR and in general will be built on Google Vision API Cloud and Amazon Textract API.

However, it is very far from ready to use product. It would require good programing skills, experience with Big G or AWS systems and decent amount of workhours to implement it into your systems. And we at SimpleSoftware have necessary experience are ready to help you with that.

The Smallest Footprint of Any OCR Engine

SimpleOCR is implemented as two C++ dlls with a total file size under 1 megabyte, making it perfect for mobile OCR applications, shareware and freeware applications, or any solution where the 100-500 megabyte footprint of modern OCR engines is impractical. Wrapper dlls and sample code for easy ActiveX and .NET integration are also provided.

The SimpleOCR SDK contains several group of functions including image manipulation, image I/O with TIFF files, image acquisition with TWAIN compliant scanners, and of course, OCR. Note that SimpleOCR SDK can read bi-level and grayscale, and create TIFF files containing bi-level (i.e. black & white) images. TIFF files are created by SimpleOCR SDK using the CCITT Group IV compression scheme, but it can read most TIFF bi-level and grayscale images.
