Corrected comparison
DocsRouter has not published a controlled Tesseract comparison or a universal accuracy figure. Earlier percentages and sample results have been removed.
Tesseract and hosted vision models solve overlapping but different problems.
Tesseract can be a good fit when you need local processing, have clean text, can tune preprocessing, or cannot send documents to a cloud service. A vision model can be useful when layout and surrounding context matter and you can accept provider processing and variable output.
Compare on your workload
- Use the same representative images and reviewed ground truth.
- Measure the fields that matter, not only character-level accuracy.
- Include preprocessing, integration, review, hosting, and API costs.
- Test difficult scans and failure cases, not only clean examples.
- Re-run the evaluation when documents or models change.
DocsRouter provides a curated hosted-model API with a 5% platform fee. It does not guarantee better accuracy, lower total cost, zero maintenance, or a particular migration size. Choose based on measured results and your privacy, reliability, and operational requirements.
