Quick answer: XPndAI vs HAMT Infotech for Dubai & UAE
HAMT Infotech implements commercial OCR platforms like ABBYY FlexiCapture, which means your extracted data pipeline depends on ongoing ABBYY licensing. XPndAI builds a fully custom AI document processing pipeline using open-source vision models and LLMs, so you own the entire stack with no recurring per-page or per-licence fees. For Dubai companies processing high volumes of Arabic invoices, the total cost of ownership is significantly lower with XPndAI after year one.

Can XPndAI extract Arabic and English mixed invoices in Dubai?Yes. XPndAI's document AI handles Arabic-right-to-left text, bilingual (Arabic + English) invoices, UAE VAT invoice fields (TRN number, 5% VAT amount, supplier name in Arabic), and handwritten annotations. Extraction accuracy is validated on UAE supplier invoice formats including DEWA, Emarat, and standard RERA contracts.
-
Does XPndAI keep invoice data within the UAE?Yes. All document processing runs on AWS UAE (me-central-1, Abu Dhabi region) or Azure UAE North. Invoice data, extracted fields, and document images never leave the UAE, satisfying UAE PDPL requirements for financial document handling.
-
What is the pricing for AI OCR development in Dubai?XPndAI builds custom document AI pipelines starting from AED 12,000 for a single document type (e.g. supplier invoices) up to AED 60,000+ for multi-document enterprise implementations (invoices, LPOs, delivery notes, contracts). There are no per-page processing fees — you own the model and infrastructure.

How accurate is XPndAI's Arabic OCR compared to ABBYY?XPndAI's custom LLM-based extraction achieves 94–97% field-level accuracy on structured UAE Arabic invoices, comparable to ABBYY FlexiCapture Arabic module, but without the per-page SaaS cost. For semi-structured or handwritten documents, the LLM-based approach outperforms rule-based OCR engines on Arabic text.
