Product Description

Google Cloud Vision API enables developers to understand the content of an image by encapsulating powerful machine learning models in an easy to use REST API. Leveraging our API, developers can quickly build applications able to classify images into thousands of categories (e.g., "sailboat", "lion", "Eiffel Tower"), detect individual objects and faces within images, build metadata on image catalog, moderate offensive content, enable new marketing scenarios through image sentiment analysis, and more.

"I love their new updates to OCR, never saw better text extraction api."

5/5

What do you like best about Google Cloud Vision API?

Love their image labeling and the text extraction feature which have been improved dramatically in the last year since google i/o 17. The image labeling has become so accurate that it can detect landmarks and companies logos.

Also i can integrate google's vission api in mobile apps which is very useful actually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Vision API?

What i dislike is that when the api detects the main object in the picture, it ignores other small things or at least relativley small to that dominant object. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Vision API:

For those who are always dealing with images, you should definitely try google's powerful cloud vision api as the machine learning is advancing so fast and you should get advantage of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud Vision API solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a backend developer, i work with data and databases all the time, so filling these data manually is a pain. By using google's vision api i extract all the data for example from catalog that contains images of products and process them in cloud then fill my database's tables. Thanks to the great OCR and text extraction feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Optical Character Recognition"

4/5

What do you like best about Google Cloud Vision API?

I used the Optical Character Recognition service that the API provides and what I like the most is:

1) It is very simple to use, well-tested.

2) it supports a lot of languages.

3) It returns bounding boxes that surround words, paragraphs or even the entire text and the text as a string within the box with a level of confidence for each word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Vision API?

1) There is no much documentation, some example is provided but I believe it is not enough.

2) It doesn't work very well on some language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
