Way too expensive. Google vision OCR (which they failed to compare against), is $1.50 per 1k pages. Vs $4 from Mistral.

It’s not the same service. Google’s vision OCR is pure text extraction, not layout. Pretty sure Google’s doc AI services that can identify headers vs body text is $10 per 1k pages.

That’s true, though worth beating a dead horse to say that traditional OCR won’t hallucinate sentences, perform unwanted translation, or change the meaning of whole paragraphs to something more “appropriate”.

interesting - an equivalent Azure Document Intelligence service (scanning with layout) is 10$/1k
