Eden AIWe are pleased to announce that Veryfi's OCR API technology has been integrated into Eden AI API.
What is Veryfi?
Veryfi is a cloud-based software platform that provides automated data extraction and document management solutions for businesses, using machine learning and avanced OCR technologies. It supports various data fields and document types and offers features such as expense tracking and mobile app document capture capabilities. Veryfi is user-friendly, mobile-optimized, and provides an enhanced level of data privacy.
Why do we offer Veryfi in addition to other OCR APIs?
Eden AI offers Veryfi OCR solutions on its platform amongst several other technologies. We want our users to have access to multiple AI engines and manage them in one place so they can reach high performance, optimize cost and cover all their needs.
There are many reasons for using multiple AI APIs :
Fallback provider is the ABCs.
You need to set up an AI API that is requested if and only if the main AI API does not perform well (or is down). You can use the confidence score returned or other methods to check provider accuracy.
Performance optimization.
After the testing phase, you will be able to build a mapping of AI vendors' performance that depends on the criteria that you chose. Each data that you need to process will be then sent to the best API.
Cost - Performance ratio optimization.
This method allows you to choose the cheapest provider that performs well for your data. Let's imagine that you choose Google Cloud API for customer "A" because they all perform well and this is the cheapest. You will then choose Microsoft Azure for customer "B", a more expensive API but Google performances are not satisfying for customer "B". (this is a random example)
Combine multiple AI APIs.
This approach is required if you look for extremely high accuracy. The combination leads to higher costs but allows your AI service to be safe and accurate because AI APIs will validate and invalidate each other for each piece of data.
