The Challenge

An inefficient OCR pipeline was burning through cash, costing $325,000 annually in AWS Lambda fees. The slow, poorly designed process made real-time data extraction impossible and threatened project scalability.

Our Solution

Implemented a ray-tracing algorithm from computer vision to quickly determine word-to-article containment relationships. Optimized the spatial indexing using R-trees and reduced computational complexity from O(n²) to O(n log n). Deployed as serverless functions with intelligent batching.

Results & Impact

Reduced annual processing costs from $325K to $11K (97% reduction)

Improved processing speed by two orders of magnitude

Enabled real-time OCR processing for large document batches

Scaled to handle 10M+ documents per month
