From PDF content to valuable data
Getting ready for digital transformation
Most of the data in our digital world is not structured enough – if at all – for digital transformation processes, e.g. automated text generation in ecommerce.
AI supported tool
Our DATA EXTRACTOR offers you a powerful AI supported tool to extract, analyze and structure PDF content into any data format required.
Beyond simple OCR
Our solution operates beyond simple OCR. The DATA EXTRACTOR scans even complex structured PDF content, identifies the visual layout and classifies single modules.
Semantically enriched data.
Save time, resources and money while getting not only structured data, but, for the first time, corrected and semantically enriched data.
Embedded grammar parsing
With an embedded grammar parser you can align, unify and correct your data on the basis of multiple PDF documents. The analysed data can then be written into any database via API or can be exported in any format required (PDF, JSON, xml, HTML, XHTML, xlsx).
