Description
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.

Could you build this?
Yes This is a batch file-upload UI that routes images to Tesseract and external LLM/Vision APIs, which is standard web frontend and API proxying work.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a content generation tool for Government yet.
