Yandex Vision OCR
Yandex Vision OCR recognizes printed and handwritten text in images and PDF files. Its models cover general page text, multi-column layouts, handwriting, tables, Markdown text, and mathematical formulas. Document-template models can recognize passports, driver licenses, vehicle registration certificates, and license plates, and return template fields. The service is accessed through gRPC or REST APIs. Results arrive as JSON Lines and can include recognized text and language, page, block, line, word, and image positions, plus layout types such as titles, headers, footnotes, and lists. Supported formats are JPEG, PNG, and PDF. The API accepts files up to 10 MB and images up to 20 megapixels; asynchronous PDF requests can cover up to 200 pages. Results remain on the server for three days. Each successful image or PDF-page recognition counts as one billed unit, while server errors and incorrectly configured requests are not charged. Listed rates range from free for printed text and license plate recognition to $0.01, paid once for several document, handwriting, and table models, billed per unit without VAT. There is no free plan.
