Amazon Rekognition vs Rekognition API: What are the differences?

What is Amazon Rekognition? Image Detection and Recognition Powered by Deep Learning. Amazon Rekognition is a service that makes it easy to add image analysis to your applications. With Rekognition, you can detect objects, scenes, and faces in images. You can also search and compare faces. Rekognition’s API enables you to quickly add sophisticated deep learning-based visual search and image classification to your applications.

What is Rekognition API? Integrated visual recognition API. ReKognition API offers services for detecting, recognizing, tagging and searching faces and concepts as well as categorizing scenes in any photo, through a RESTFUL API. We process and analyze photos from anywhere, so you can mix and match photo sources with user IDs, which can enable you to, say, recognize objects in Facebook and Flickr photos.

Amazon Rekognition and Rekognition API are primarily classified as "Image Analysis API" and "Facial Recognition" tools respectively.

Decided

AWS Rekognition has an OCR feature but can recognize only up to 50 words per image, which is a deal-breaker for us. (see my tweet).

Also, we discovered fantastic speed and quality improvements in the 4.x versions of Tesseract. Meanwhile, the quality of AWS Rekognition's OCR remains to be mediocre in comparison.

We run Tesseract serverlessly in AWS Lambda via aws-lambda-tesseract library that we made open-source.
