- immibis 1y agoOCRs are AI/ML in the sense it meant to everyone before 2020.
- senko 1y agoIn case it wasn't clear, I'm using "OCR" in my comment above for "reading and interpreting textual documents provided as images", not as a reference to a specific tech such as Tesseract. In the app, I am, in fact, using AI/ML tech and I'm saying it's very accurate for my use case, as a counterpoint to the parent comment which says AI works in 1% cases, maybe. But since you brought it up, this workflow works better than the supposedly "99.999999% right all the time" traditional code (traditional OCR tools). Hope this clears it up.
