Built this because people working with large document sets had no free tool that handled batch processing cleanly. Tesseract is free and runs locally. For anything that needs more accuracy — Google Vision, Gemini, or any OpenRouter model — you bring your own API key. No subscription, no markup on your usage. Export as TXT, JSON, XML or PDF. AI engines support custom prompts so you can translate, extract form fields, or get structured output in one step.

Most products that touch PDFs or images quietly rebuild the same thing: a hacked-together “router” that picks which OCR/vision API to call, normalizes the responses, and prays the bill is sane at the end of the month. DocsRouter is that layer as a product: one stable API that talks to multiple OCR engines and vision LLMs, lets you route per document based on cost/quality/latency, and gives you normalized outputs (text, tables, fields) so your app doesn’t care which provider was used.

1. Click capture text 2. Select an area on screen with text 3. Paste the text anywhere Are there other solutions out there? Yes, the best one that I've found is Text Sniper, it $8 so I decided to learn SwiftUI and release Text Capture for $0.99. This one uses MacOS builtin Vision API under the hood so it should also improve with new macOS releases. Would love to hear your feedback!

Hi HN: Recently I developed a simple OCR tool. The basic idea is that it can be used as a framework to help developers building and deploying their own OCR solutions. I hope it will be useful to you.
