When do I need batch OCR instead of the regular OCR page?

Use batch OCR when you repeatedly process groups of similar files and need a more scalable workflow than uploading and reviewing each file one at a time.

What documents fit batch OCR best?

It works best for repeated document types such as invoices, reports, forms, scans, and other files that arrive in volume.

Do I still need to review the output?

Yes. Batch OCR helps with throughput, but you should still review exceptions, low-quality scans, and fields that matter for business decisions.

When should I move from batch OCR to the API?

Move to the API when OCR needs to be triggered by your own systems or product logic. Batch OCR is the better bridge when you still work primarily through a user-facing workflow.
