OCR vs Extraction

Invoice OCR Software

OCR reads text. DocXtract understands invoices. See why traditional OCR tools fail in production—and how AI-powered extraction delivers consistent, validated results.

Why Teams Struggle

OCR Only Reads Text

Traditional OCR extracts characters but can't tell if "500" is quantity, price, or tax amount. No context.

No Validation

OCR outputs text as-is. Doesn't verify if line items sum to total or if tax calculations are correct.

Structure Lost

Multi-column tables, merged cells, wrapped text—OCR mangles invoice structure into unusable output.

OCR vs Intelligent Extraction

Traditional OCR

Extracts raw text only
No field identification
Breaks on format changes
Manual post-processing needed
No confidence scoring
Tables become jumbled text

DocXtract Extraction

Understands document context
Maps fields automatically
Template-free, adapts to any format
ERP-ready JSON output
Confidence scores per field
Line items preserved with structure

How DocXtract Goes Beyond OCR

Our AI doesn't just read—it understands pattern, relationship, and structure.

Contextual Reading

AI identifies what each value represents based on position, labels, and document structure—not just character recognition.

Rule Guards

Validates that line items sum correctly, tax calculations match rates, and totals are arithmetically consistent.

Confidence Scoring

Each extracted field includes confidence score based on context—flag low-confidence extractions for review.

Structured Output

Clean JSON with nested objects for vendor, line items, taxes—ready for direct database or ERP insertion.
