What's the conclusion?

Thank you for your excellent work! I read your article https://source.opennews.org/articles/so-many-ocr-options/ with great interest.

Your article opens with "Do you need to pay a lot of money to get reliable OCR results? Is Google Cloud Vision actually better than Tesseract? Are any cutting edge neural network-based OCR engines worth the time investment of getting them set up?" Unfortunately I didn't find any of those answers in your article :(

What's the bottom line on OCR these days? What's your conclusion?

You can compare the results we got from Tesseract and Cloud Vision and decide for yourself.

My takeaway was that if you're building an app, Tesseract is probably good enough.
