Hi hunters! I'm the founder of scanR and would love to answer any question you have about our cool OCR API. The main goal is to offer a simple and affordable OCR service so developers can build awesome products on top of it.

@sagivo congrats on the launch - we work with a lot of financial data that comes to us on PDFs and in old school file formats which are difficult to parse. This will be super useful!
