ProofPudding – Document Extraction API with Citations (PDF/Docx)
ProofPudding returns extraction results with explicit links back to the exact page and source text, supports native and scanned PDFs plus DOCX/images, and ships Python/TypeScript SDKs — handy for agents that need auditable facts. It’s a pragmatic product (per-extraction pricing and confidence scores are nice), but the market is crowded; I want clarity on underlying models, real-world accuracy numbers, and how it compares to Document AI/Textract in edge cases.
