Document Parsing

Converting documents into structured, machine-readable data.

Definition

Document parsing is the process of converting unstructured or semi-structured documents into structured, machine-readable data. This includes extracting text from PDFs, identifying tables and their structure, recognising headers and sections, and preserving document layout information. Modern AI-powered parsers can handle diverse document types including scanned images, handwritten notes, and complex layouts.
