What is OCR?

OCR products convert images and scans into machine-readable text. They are a capture layer, not a full document-understanding suite. Overlap with Document AI exists, but buyer intent here is text capture quality, languages and on-device or batch throughput.

What problems does it solve?

Scans and photos cannot enter downstream systems as text.

Frequently asked questions

Should OCR merge into Document AI?

Only if the product is truly an understanding suite. Capture-only OCR serves a different buyer.

What is OCR?

OCR products convert images and scans into machine-readable text. They are a capture layer, not a full document-understanding suite. Overlap with Document AI exists, but buyer intent here is text capture quality, languages and on-device or batch throughput.

What should buyers ask about AI data retention and deletion?

Establish how long prompts, files, traces and embeddings are kept, who can access them, and how deletion is evidenced. Retention in a debug or eval store can outlast the customer contract if it is not in scope.

How can buyers tell whether customer data is used to train models?

Ask whether prompts, files, logs or outputs are used to train, fine-tune or evaluate models, including by subprocessors. Require the contractual default, any opt-out, and whether the setting can be changed silently. Treat marketing 'we do not train' claims as unverified until evidenced.

What model or provider changes should a buyer insist on being told about?

Material change usually includes a new model family, new region, new subprocessor, new write-capable tool, or a change that affects logging, privacy or human oversight. Those changes should trigger evidence refresh rather than a silent release.

How should buyers verify where AI customer data is processed?

Ask for the named processing locations, cloud regions and any subprocessors that see prompts, files or outputs. A directory listing is not evidence of residency. Independent assessment records the locations that were in scope on the assessment date.

Does a TrustMark on one product cover the rest of the company?

No. Independent assessment is scoped to the named organisation and, where relevant, the named product. Category pages list suppliers as a topic label. They do not imply that every listed company has been assessed.

What incident-handling evidence is useful for AI suppliers?

Buyers should see how AI-specific failures are detected, contained and notified — including unsafe outputs, data leakage and unauthorised agent actions. An incident policy that never mentions models, prompts or tools is incomplete for this class of product.
