Hi,
Of course, I am aware that Google' s goal does not match with ours. But I am talking about possibility of any negotiation in this matter because we don't have other options but to use the Google OCR tool. If we had other better OCR options, I would not raise the issue.
By the way, we are not using Cloud Vision API for the script now, so still we are doing it without paying any money, but this shows that may be in near future, we have to pay them. I am just being cautious in advance.
There may or may not be any negotiation, either way, we will utilise the Google OCR fully as far as we can. We will find other ways to do it.
Regards,

And when we were getting some hope, Google announced that they will
charge for doing OCR using their drive.

Makes sense.
Is there any chance that WMF will go for negotiation with Google so that
we can do the mass OCR free of charge?
What makes you think that Google's goals may match with ours?
