Invoice OCR : What are the supported countries?
What are the supported countries?
Our invoice recognition API is based on our computer vision technology that doesn't rely on text to extract the invoice data, but only on the image. This removes language limitations.
The OCR was trained with invoices from over 50 countries, ensuring that you can extract data from your invoices regardless of where they were created.
Invoice OCR : How complicated is it to integrate the API?
Mindee's API follows HTTP standards in order to allow any developer to integrate the invoice OCR API into their applications easily.
We also offer a set of client libraries in all the main back-end languages, and an open-source UI toolkit that helps create front-end features. You can check out our open-source repository or our API documentation for more details.
Invoice OCR : What is the OCR accuracy?
What is the OCR accuracy?
Our invoice OCR's accuracy is above 90%, with precision above 95% for most of the fields. These performances are computed on a data set including more than 50 countries.
Testing our OCR API is free, all you need is an account. Feel free to drag and drop invoices in the live interface to see the OCR performance on your data.
What's the average API response time?
The processing time is around 1.3 seconds per page for pdfs and 0.9 seconds for a invoice image.
We often improve this processing time and our target is below 500ms. Our goal is to make sure you can create real-time user experiences in your application.
Invoice OCR : Does the OCR work on low-quality images?
Does the OCR work on low-quality images?
Yes, we trained our Invoice OCR to process invoices from a large number of different layouts, even the ones with the most complex formatting.
We also use data augmentation to ensure that no blur or ink stains prevent our system from reading the data as long as it's readable.
Do you offer technical support?
We have a Slack community where you can ask your questions and chat with our team.
We don't do the integration in your infrastructure ourselves but we can set up a custom level of support on a per-case basis if needed.
