Compared a few options
Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: markdown/JSON output for LLM workflows and aPI-friendly output for RAG pipelines. Where it lags: accuracy can drop on very low-quality scans. On balance the feature set — especially table and figure recognition — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.
Skeptical, then convinced
I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on multilingual OCR, and multilingual document support caught me off guard. still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.

Solid for our team
We rolled this out across the team last quarter and handles tables, equations, and mixed content. Markdown/JSON output for LLM workflows fits neatly into how we already work, and pDF and image input support removed a step we used to do by hand. but it has held up under daily use.
