We are pleased to announce that Klippa's OCR API technology has been integrated into Eden AI API.
What is Klippa?
Klippa is a tech company dedicated to transforming administrative processes through digitization and automation. From receipt scanning and data extraction to automating financial processes, Klippa's software products are suitable for a wide range of industries. With a strong commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, Klippa has built a satisfied client base that spans across five international offices.
Why do we offer Klippa in addition to other OCR APIs?
Eden AI offers Klippa OCR solutions on its platform amongst several other technologies. We want our users to have access to multiple AI engines and manage them in one place so they can reach high performance, optimize cost and cover all their needs.
There are many reasons for using multiple AI APIs :
Fallback provider is the ABCs.
You need to set up an AI API that is requested if and only if the main AI API does not perform well (or is down). You can use the confidence score returned or other methods to check provider accuracy.
Performance optimization.
After the testing phase, you will be able to build a mapping of AI vendors' performance that depends on the criteria that you chose. Each data that you need to process will be then sent to the best API.
Cost - Performance ratio optimization.
This method allows you to choose the cheapest provider that performs well for your data. Let's imagine that you choose Google Cloud API for customer "A" because they all perform well and this is the cheapest. You will then choose Microsoft Azure for customer "B", a more expensive API but Google performances are not satisfying for customer "B". (this is a random example)
Combine multiple AI APIs.
This approach is required if you look for extremely high accuracy. The combination leads to higher costs but allows your AI service to be safe and accurate because AI APIs will validate and invalidate each other for each piece of data.
