Read PDFs and images as markdown or text, with exact costs and hard spend caps. $0.75/1k pages.
Scored across 2 tools
The two tools are clearly distinct: one estimates cost, the other performs OCR. There is no overlap in purpose or behavior.
Both tools follow the same verb_noun pattern (estimate_cost, read_document), making the naming predictable and consistent.
With only two tools, the server feels minimal but appropriate for its focused OCR purpose. The count is borderline thin, but each tool serves a necessary part of the workflow.
The core workflow of estimating cost and reading documents is covered well. Minor gaps exist, such as no ability to list past reads or handle file uploads, but these are outside the obvious scope.
Free: return the page count and exact cost_usd to read a document URL with read_document, without running OCR. Use before reading large documents.
Inputs: url (required), pages.
Read a document (PDF or image) from a URL and return its contents as markdown (tables preserved) or plain text. Costs $0.00075 per page, billed to the PennyOCR account; the response includes the exact cost_usd and per-page citations. Use estimate_cost first for big documents. Supports page ranges and hard spend caps.
Inputs: url (required), pages, output, max_pages, +1 more.
