What it does

Identifies what type of document appears in a photo before processing

Before a document is OCR-ed, it helps to know what it is. The tool looks at a photo of a document and returns a classification (invoice, permit, ID, inspection form) from a defined type list. It runs at intake so downstream processing uses the right logic for the right document type.

When you’d reach for it

  • Classifying a photographed document at the moment of capture so it gets routed to the correct workflow.
  • Identifying document types across a batch upload from a field operations system before OCR processing runs.
  • Sorting photographed documents at AP intake into the correct queues before data extraction begins.
