AI OCR That Reads Text, Tables and Layout Not Just Characters

Artificio's AI OCR uses best-of-breed, state-of-the-art vision models to read text, tables and full document layout from images, scans and PDFs, with accuracy that plain OCR can't match. And it's the reading layer of a bigger engine: what it reads flows straight into data extraction and your workflows.

Where OCR fits

OCR is the first step, not the whole job.

Reading a document is where it starts. In Artificio, OCR is the reading layer of a full data extraction engine, so text becomes structured data, gets validated, and drives your workflows.

Two tiers of OCR

Basic for text. Advanced for everything with structure.

Not every document needs the same depth. Choose the level that fits, plain text extraction, or full layout with tables and line items.

  • Basic OCR

    Clean, accurate text

    Convert images, scans and PDFs into accurate, editable, searchable text, fast and at scale.
    • Plain-text extraction from images, scans and PDFs
    • Printed and handwritten text
    • Searchable output, editable text
    • High-volume, high-speed batch processing
  • Advanced OCR

    Full layout, tables and line items

    Go beyond loose text, capture the document's structure: tables, columns, line items and key regions, kept intact.
    • Complex tables and multi-line line items
    • Layout & structure preserved, not flattened
    • Key-value regions and document sections
    • The foundation for full data extraction
Best of breed

State-of-the-art vision, not a single legacy engine.

Traditional OCR ties you to one aging engine. Artificio uses multiple best-of-breed, state-of-the-art vision models (chosen for the job) so you get the strongest reading available for your document, not whatever one vendor's engine can manage.

The result: higher accuracy on hard documents (low-quality scans, complex backgrounds, dense tables) where legacy OCR struggles.

More than reading

Need the data, not just the text? Meet the extraction engine.

OCR reads the document. Artificio's data extraction turns that into structured fields and tables, validates them, and drives them into your workflows and systems like SAP, so a scan becomes a posting, not a text file to re-key.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is Artificio AI OCR?
It's an AI OCR engine that reads text, tables and layout from images, scanned PDFs and other documents using best-of-breed, state-of-the-art vision models. Unlike a single legacy OCR engine, it selects strong models for the job, and it's built into Artificio's data extraction engine, so reading a document can lead straight to structured data and automation.
What's the difference between Basic and Advanced OCR?
Basic OCR extracts plain, accurate text from images, scans and PDFs, ideal when you just need editable, searchable text. Advanced OCR goes further and captures the document's structure: complex tables, line items, key-value regions and layout, the foundation for full data extraction.
Can it read tables and line items?
Yes, with Advanced OCR. It captures multi-column and multi-line tables and keeps the structure intact, rather than flattening everything into a single block of text, so line items stay usable.
How is this different from ordinary OCR?
Ordinary OCR ties you to one aging engine and stops at characters. Artificio uses multiple state-of-the-art vision models for higher accuracy on hard documents, reads structure not just text, and is part of a full extraction engine, so the output can be understood, validated and acted on, not just dumped as raw text.
Can it handle handwriting and low-quality scans?
Yes. It handles printed and handwritten text and holds up on challenging inputs (low-quality scans, complex backgrounds, photographed documents) though accuracy on handwriting depends on legibility.
How do I get the results out?
Through the API for integration into your applications and systems, or as a one-click XLS/CSV download for use in spreadsheets and downstream processes.
Can I use OCR on its own, or only as part of extraction?
Both. Use OCR on its own when you just need the text. When you need the data understood, validated and acted on, the same OCR feeds directly into Artificio's data extraction engine and workflows, including posting into systems like SAP.
