Text recognition is really convenient to use, work really well and its pretty reliable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It hard to use via terraform and it sometimes times out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Cloud vision api is developed for training and testing computer vision models and also reusing the pretrained models developed by the computer vision team.It is very simple to use,you just have to create your account on google and get yourself api key and enable cloud vision api,Thats it you are ready to go.It is so much simple but accurate enough to give you precise results.Moreover if you are a newbie you get 300$ credits on google cloud which you can use for cloud vision API.I'll give you one example about its simplicity.Suppose you want a ocr for your software and you don't have time to code it from scratch at that time you use pretrained OCR model of google vision to detect characters from the image.It give you accuracy of 80% which is more than good for a pretrained model.

The pricing is little high and if you are using it for personal use than definetly its gonna be heavy on you pocket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very effective in reading text and handwriting, and also in describing images Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't read common formats, especially PDFs. Preprocessing PDFs into images feels like something Google should do on its own backend Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its super easy to use and really precise when using the API to predict the images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just the UI wasn't per the Google's standard it can be more intutive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to get started and the quality of the models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s still a little cumbersome to spin up on it and some of the qwiklabs have some issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy it was to integrate the API into our react application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing I can think of currently, the API has been very easy to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 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.

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.

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.

Image labeling and Face recognition is what i find interesting in cloud vision api. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You are limited to specific programming languages not like other competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use is fantastic, and it is easy to understand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
