Since this is Google, I imagine they’ll also be using the processed documents to further improve their OCR technology. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/apis">apis</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/googldocs">googldocs</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/google">google</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ocr">ocr</a></p>
