The competition

We tested several implementation from different companies and we’re listing here the one with public online demo:

Notice here that we’re listing only server-side solutions and ignoring mobiles. It’s harder to develop a reliable server-side solution than mobile. A mobile use a video stream (multiple images) and has multiple chances to get it right while a server has a single chance.

We are faster and more accurate than all the above products. Do not take our word for it, do your own tests. The only solution that come close is Microsoft Azure Form Recognizer. Microsoft has a better precision while we have a higher recall. You’ll notice that Microsoft frequently doesn’t return some fields, sometimes nothing is returned. Their recall is low but the precision is very good (OCR correct). We could improve our precision score by dropping low confidence fields to match what Microsoft is doing.

Many companies out there use Microsoft Azure Form Recognizer (e.g. Parsio) and offer a competitive pricing compared to us. We don’t target the same audience. They target independent developers and small companies willing to provide their customers’ confidential data (Id cards, Passports, Bank cheques, Invoices, Credit cards, SSN…) to a third-party, then this 3rd-party is sending their data to Microsoft. Here you have 2 companies involved in processing your data. In our case we offer a solution working on-premise on your own server and not a single byte will leave your network.
