Description
Hi HN,I built an AI-powered OCR API designed to extract highly structured JSON data from complex documents like global passports, IDs, receipts, and shipping containers. We recently rolled out our Python and Node.js SDKs.Just wanted to share it with the community.

Could you build this?
Yes StructOCR is an API wrapper that accepts images/documents, sends them to vision LLMs with structured JSON schema extraction prompts, and returns parsed fields. This is standard API CRUD and wrapper tooling that can be built in days with AI assistance.
Discussion

Concerns raised: Limited document type support (Italian health card not supported)
Feature requests: Support for additional document types (Italian Tessera Sanitaria), Allow users to train/recognize their own custom document types
