Comment Comment by Isamu Don't know where the assessment "Msft, Google APIs accuracy still below par" came from. In fact this is just comparing 3 APIs.In fact the state of the art of OCR "in the wild" (using images off the street, for example) is far from 100%. Google Cloud Vision does pretty good.The ICDAR 2017 challenges (especially Robust Reading Challenges) should give you an idea of where we are now:http://u-pat.org/ICDAR2017/program_competitions.php parent Isamu 9 years ago
