thanks a lot. what could be the accuracy for Arabic language?

[@TechExpertTutorials]

Not sure what is the accuracy for other languages, I have only used the English version. Here is a list of other languages that are available for this API: cloud.google.com/vision/docs/languages There is a paper comparing different languages, including Arabic, and it mentions the accuracy for Arabic is lower than English (93% vs 98%): www.researchgate.net/publication/356446235_OCR_with_Tesseract_Amazon_Textract_and_Google_Document_AI_a_benchmarking_experiment

do i need a billing account for this ?

[@TechExpertTutorials]

I was able to use this with a free Google Cloud account previously. Google gives you $300 in free credits to use for testing and evaluation. Here are some more details: cloud.google.com/vision/docs/drag-and-drop

​@@TechExpertTutorials thanx 🤗

what is the accuracy for handwritten documents?

[@TechExpertTutorials]

accuracy is lower for hand writing, usually around 80-90% if the writing is organized and legible.

[@ucduyvo4552]

It doesn't have a free trial, I follow video's instruction, but the response is 403 This API method requires billing to be enabled

[@matthewkapfer6345]

You need billing enabled so if you go above 1,000 calls/units it can bill you accordingly
