Hey HN, I'm Andrew, one of the creators of Void. I made this open source version of Cursor where you can get all of Cursor's core features but in a fully-customizable IDE (ctrl+k, ctrl+L). We love Cursor but there are so many other features we want to build, like allowing AI to edit multiple files at once, or giving AI better understanding of your file system. Void is the open-source, fully customizable tool we've been wanting. The hard part: we're building Void as a fork of vscode. The repo has great documentation for extensions, but going deeper gets pretty involved. All of the code is…

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.

This was not supposed to become a product. When PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 dropped, independent benchmarks put it at the top of document parsing models. I had to try it. I needed a provider, but there simply isn't one ready for production that I would trust. So i set one up myself. I assumed that even after getting it running, serving a vision-language model would be expensive. It turns out the opposite is true. Once I had it running properly, the cost was absurdly low. At proper GPU utilization, the cost is only around $1 per 1,000 pages. The nearest competitors are either much lower quality (Azure…
