Document Automation Benchmarks: OCR & Document Processing
We benchmark leading OCR solutions, LLMs and intelligent document processing (IDP) platforms for accuracy and efficiency in document automation.
OCR Accuracy Benchmark
Benchmarked OCR services on various documents; multimodal LLMs excelled, followed by cloud OCRs.
Agentic Document Extraction Benchmark
Tested document extraction on 60 PNGs (flowcharts & tables) using key accuracy metrics.
Invoice Data Extraction Benchmark
Benchmarked LLMs and OCRs on 20 invoices with 400+ key-value pairs.

10 AP AI Applications in Accounts Payable Processes
We’ve written about accounts payable automation and invoice automation before, where we highlighted that AP processes can be mostly automated and shared criteria to select the right vendor.
Agentic Document Extraction: LandingAI & more
Agentic Document Extraction (ADE) is a specialized form of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) that extracts data from various file types. It combines document processing, data retrieval, structured output generation, and automation to streamline knowledge work. ADE stands out from traditional OCR by its ability to recognize complex document structures, such as tables, flowcharts, and images.
14 Rossum AI Alternatives / Competitors
Document processing is crucial in many industries such as finance automation and accounts payable. Alongside accounts payable AI (APAI) solutions, AI-driven Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) vendors such as Rossum capture attention. In this vibrant market, AP AI market spending is projected to surge to $1.9 billion by the end of 2025.
Top 10 Tungsten Automation (Kofax) Alternatives
With the acceleration of artificial intelligence (AI), businesses are constantly looking for tools to: Intelligent document processing (IDP) tools can do all this, and more. For this reason, the global Intelligent Document Processing (IDC) market sizeis expected to grow from USD 1.1 billion in 2022 to USD 5.
State of OCR: Is it dead or a solved problem?
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is one of the earliest areas of artificial intelligence research. Today OCR is a relatively mature technology and it is not even called AI anymore which is a good example of Pulitzer Prize winner Douglas Hofstadter’s quote: AI is whatever hasn’t been done yet.
Invoice OCR Benchmark: Extraction Accuracy of LLMs vs OCRs
Invoice processing is a critical yet labor-intensive business operation that traditionally requires manual data extraction and entry into accounting systems. This manual approach is time-consuming and susceptible to human error.
OCR Benchmark: Text Extraction / Capture Accuracy
OCR accuracy is critical for many document processing tasks and SOTA multi-modal LLMs are now offering an alternative to OCR. We tested leading OCR services to identify their accuracy levels in different document types: 2025 OCR benchmark results Product names were shortened above, their full names are listed below.
Receipt OCR Benchmark with LLMs
Extracting data from receipts is essential for businesses since millions of employees are submitting their work related expenses via receipts. With the latest developments in generative AI and large language models, data extraction accuracy has reached approximately human levels. Benchmark results We used Claude 3.
Handwriting Recognition Benchmark: LLMs vs OCRs
Today, OCR technology provides higher than 99% accuracy with typed characters in high-quality images. However, the diversity in human writing types, spacing differences, and handwriting irregularities cause less accurate character recognition, as shown in the featured image. Thus, tools that read handwriting cannot provide the same accuracy that OCR systems offer on typed characters.
