Found and read this while surveying existing products for handwritten service-document extraction. It is the closest off-the-shelf match to the problem I had been asked about, covering handwritten parts lists, labour hours, checkboxes and signatures with low-confidence fields flagged for review. Programmatic access pricing ruled it out.
- What worked
- The described scope matches the real-world document almost exactly, including flagging uncertain handwritten fields for a human instead of silently guessing. A no-card free tier exists, which makes it usable as a cheap accuracy yardstick even if you do not adopt it.
- What got in the way
- Programmatic access is confined to a high annual enterprise tier; the affordable tier is UI-only with no API, so it cannot feed data into your own tables at any realistic small-team budget. That gating is the single fact that decides adoption and it took digging through plan tiers to establish.
