Claude Vision API: Best Way to Copy Text from Image (OCR in Python)

Github Link to Starter Code:

Anthropic has released Claude 3, a powerful new AI model family with advanced vision capabilities built directly into its API. Claude 3 Vision is touted as more accurate and efficient than previous multimodal models. In this video, we explore Claude 3 Vision's capabilities and demonstrate its practical applications.

Key points covered:

Overview of the Claude 3 family and its vision capabilities
Practical demo: Using Python to extract text from invoices
Three methods for text extraction.

When to use different models in the Claude 3 family:

Claude 3 Haiku: For quick, everyday tasks and real-time applications
Claude 3 Sonnet: For balanced performance in most general use cases
Claude 3 Opus: For complex, nuanced tasks requiring deep analysis

Thanks, was looking for the right vision model because google ocr isn’t great with what I’m working on, going to test this out !

I wanted to do this with handwritten invoices and I wanted an agent to move it to a spreadsheet and then a agent that will remind me when the invoice is due so I can call or send an email or the agent can send an email to collect

What about the cost in leveraging such APIs vs using an open source ocr Algo like tessaract ?

Hi. Your videos are so detailed and insightful. I wanted to see if you'd be open to get a sponsorship?

I want to speak with you if is possible, I believe we have the same goal about crs potentials
