AI & automation

Document & Vision AI

We teach computers to read scanned papers and PDFs, and to spot and count things in photos and videos.

In short

Let computers read the paperwork and see the picture.

We build AI that reads text and tables from scans, PDFs and forms. We also build AI that finds and counts things in photos and video. So people stop typing things in by hand.

Sound familiar?

  • Staff type details from paper forms into a system.
  • Key facts are buried in long PDFs and scans.
  • Someone checks or counts items in photos, one by one.
  • Mistakes creep in because the work is slow and dull.

If any of these sound like you, this is a good place to start.

What you get

What's included.

  1. Reading text & tables

    Turn scans, PDFs and photos of papers into clean data (OCR).

  2. Reading forms & invoices

    Pick out names, dates, amounts and IDs, and check them against your records.

  3. Short summaries

    Short summaries of long documents, with links back to the page.

  4. Spotting things

    Models that find and label things in photos and video.

  5. Counting & checking

    Count items, spot damage, or check the right things are there.

  6. A person double-checks

    Simple screens where a person confirms anything the AI isn't sure about.

How it works

Four steps, start to finish.

  1. Step 01

    Collect examples

    Gather real documents or photos, including the messy ones.

  2. Step 02

    Train & measure

    Pick or train the right model and measure how accurate it is.

  3. Step 03

    Add a check

    Send unsure results to a person instead of guessing.

  4. Step 04

    Run & improve

    Track accuracy in real use and retrain it when needed.

We do this ourselves

Part of our standard toolkit

Reading documents and spotting things in images are part of the toolkit behind our own products and the systems we build for clients.

How we use AI safely

Tools we use

  • PaddleOCR & Tesseract
  • PDF reading
  • Large language models
  • YOLO
  • OpenCV
  • Python

Questions

Common questions.

Ask us something else
How accurate is it?

It depends on your documents or photos. We measure it on your real examples before launch. Anything the AI isn't sure about goes to a person.

Can it read handwriting or bad scans?

Often, yes, but not always. We test your worst examples first, so you know what to expect before you commit.
