## Summary

OpenRouter ranks Claude Opus 5.5 most accurate on scanned documents, with 262 of 264 key values correct at $16.42 per 1,000 pages. Mistral OCR scored 258 of 264 at $2.02 per 1,000 pages, while Tesseract 5.5 scored 46 of 88 on the same test set. The test used eight degraded pages built from known text, so OpenRouter says readers should test models on their own scans.
