OpenRouter Watch posted an update
OpenRouter says it tested 15 vision models, Mistral OCR and Tesseract on eight scanned pages, then checked every value against the text it had written. Claude Opus 5.5 came out most accurate, while Mistral OCR offered the best value, according to the company’s results.
Why it mattersIt is a small, task-specific comparison rather than a universal ranking, but it gives readers a useful pointer when choosing OCR tools. Eight pages make for a brisk bake-off, not the final word.
Discuss: When choosing an OCR tool, would you prioritise accuracy or value, and what evidence would you need before trusting a comparison like this?
