Simple OCR - Fast OCR for scanned invoices and documents

by•
Simple OCR is a fast, no-friction OCR tool for scanned invoices, forms, and PDFs. Upload a document, extract text and tables, and download the result in seconds — no setup or training required. We’re launching Simple OCR globally to learn when OCR becomes part of real, repeatable workflows instead of a one-off utility. If you regularly work with scanned documents, we’d love to hear where OCR tools help — and where they usually break in real work.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I’m the maker of Simple OCR. We originally built this tool for a small Japanese audience, but quickly noticed a pattern: people tried it once, got value, and didn’t come back. That made us question whether OCR tools are fundamentally “one-off utilities” — or if there are real, repeatable workflows where OCR becomes part of daily or weekly work. So today, we’re launching Simple OCR for global users to test that hypothesis. Simple OCR focuses on fast, no-friction extraction of text and tables from scanned documents (invoices, forms, PDFs), without complex setup. I’d love to hear: In what situations do you personally use OCR more than once? What usually breaks OCR tools for you in real work? Happy to answer any questions and learn from your feedback. Thanks for checking it out!
