FAQ
- Mindee vs Textract vs Doc Intelligence – when?
- Mindee strongest on receipts + passports out of the box. Textract has better forms/tables on hand-written docs. Doc Intelligence's invoice model is excellent + Azure-integrated. Compare on your representative docs.
- Custom model training – how?
- Mindee Studio (UI). Upload labelled samples per field, train, deploy. Get account + model + version to plug into Parse Custom.
- Async – needed?
- Most Mindee endpoints are sync (return parsed data immediately). Larger custom models may be async – same endpoint, response includes a job URL to poll.
