AWS as in Amazon Web Services? And if so, can you be more specific?

  Here are some more options: * AWS Textract [0] * Microsoft Azure [1] * Google Cloud Vision [2] I personally use Azure, combined with OCR correction using GPT to convert a scan of my daily journal (Apple Notes creates a PDF that is nothing but a bunch of images) -> Markdown -> Extract tasks and then add them to my Reminders app using CalDav. Azure has one of the best OCR for handwritten text, but for normal document extraction (read: printed text), any service would do a reasonable job.

    Could you explain how you use GPT for ocr correction?

      https://promptbase.com/prompt/ocr-text-fixer https://promptbase.com/prompt/ocr-text-fixer This is the prompt I bought from promptbase. You basically provide GPT with some examples on possible OCR errors, and then you give it the OCRed text and it tries to correct it
