EasyOCR suits developers who need image text extraction across many languages and want configurable recognition options. It is not a fit for handwriting recognition.
ScanScan suits students, office users, and anyone who wants to extract or translate text from images, scan IDs, or archive paper documents as PDFs. It is also useful for people who need image tables converted to Excel.
