From PDF to database in four steps

High-throughput multimodal OCR extraction, packaged for researchers—not developers.

01

Advanced Multimodal OCR

Reads digital & scanned PDFs directly with neural vision—preserving multi-column layouts, 2D table matrices, and visual captions.

02

Follow your schema

Typed fields, numerical precision, units and allowed values strictly guide extraction.

03

Create clean rows

Every paper becomes consistent, export-ready records with 90%+ precision targets.

04

Check the evidence

Zero-hallucination policy keeps missing values empty; extracted values link directly to source coordinates.
