Document Reading

Overview

Most small teams still copy numbers from PDFs and scans into a spreadsheet or accounting tool by hand. We build a reading pipeline for the documents you receive most often, pull out the fields you actually use, and send anything uncertain to a person before it goes further. You get fewer typing errors and a clear record of what was read and when.

What is included

• Field extraction for one document type, such as supplier invoices or delivery notes

• A confidence score on every field, with low confidence pages sent to a review queue

• Output into your spreadsheet, accounting tool or shared folder in a fixed format

• A log of every document processed, with a link to the original file

How it works

1. You send us 20 to 50 real examples and the list of fields your team types in today.

2. We build the pipeline, test it against those examples, and show you the accuracy for each field.

3. We switch it on for live documents, review the first two weeks of results with you, and hand over.

Typical timeline

3 to 5 weeks from the first batch of examples to live use.

Good fit if

• Someone on your team spends several hours a week retyping figures from PDFs or scans

• Most of your documents come from a known set of senders with recurring layouts

• You want a person to keep the final say on anything the system is unsure about

Questions

What happens when a document is unclear or unusual?

Nothing is guessed. Pages below the agreed confidence level go to a review queue, where a person checks or corrects the fields before anything is passed on.

Can it read handwriting or photos taken on a phone?

Clear phone photos usually work well. Handwriting is less reliable, so we test it on your own samples first and tell you honestly whether it is worth including.
