Pitfalls to watch at work

DeepL

On the free version texts may be stored to improve the service: translate contracts and correspondence with details only on a paid plan
Legal terms are translated with a general dictionary: without a glossary "supplier" and "contractor" can swap midway through a document
Scanned PDFs without a text layer are translated with OCR errors, so run OCR first

Nanonets

Handwritten signatures and stamps over digits produce wrong amounts: turn on review for money fields
A model trained on one supplier's invoices makes mistakes on others: add samples of every document type
Per-page billing grows unnoticed on large PDFs with attachments: set a volume cap
