Does your solution have any unique features or benefits in comparison to existing solutions like Acuant, MicroBlink or Regula? Those already classify various documents and extract the data pretty well. https://www.acuant.com/

As with computers in general, it depends on the use case. The Switch is definitively underpowered compared to other consoles or a gaming PC. The competition offers a better at-home experience in AAA games. But for many indie games and first
