Instant OCR Playground: Edit YAML → Click Run → See Results

I just shipped something small but important for my OCR product:

👉 You can now try Script OCR instantly — no signup required

What it does

Visitors can:

• see a sample document (ID card)

• view the YAML extraction rules

• edit the YAML directly

• click Process

• instantly see the structured output

All in the browser.

Why I built this

Previously, the flow was:

Landing → Signup → API key → Test

That’s a lot of friction just to understand the product.

Now it’s:

Landing → Play → Understand

Much better.

What users are actually doing

Interesting behavior so far:

• tweaking keywords to see how extraction changes

• breaking the YAML (then fixing it)

• testing how flexible the system is

• understanding “how it works” without docs

It’s less like a demo, more like a sandbox.

Key idea

Script OCR is not obvious at first glance.
Once someone tries it, it clicks immediately.

So instead of explaining it better, I just let people use it instantly.

Curious about this

For other founders:

• Did removing signup for demos increase conversions?

• How do you balance free usage vs abuse?

• Do interactive demos outperform videos/docs for you?

No signup needed — just edit the YAML and hit run.
