Gemini 2.5 Flash for fast, low-cost OCR

Gemini 2.5 Flash is tuned for speed and low cost, which makes it a practical default for high-volume image reading and long documents, with solid multilingual coverage. On ExactRead it defaults to 1 credit per document.

Gemini 2.5 Flash vs Pro for OCR

Flash trades a little accuracy on hard pages for lower latency and cost; Pro is worth trying when a document is dense or high-value. Run both on the same file in ExactRead and keep the result that reads your document most faithfully.
