Documents, PDFs and invoice photos: AI reads paper too
A lot of information exists only on paper, as a PDF or in a photo: invoices, receipts, reports, purchase orders.
A lot of information exists only on paper, as a PDF or in a photo: invoices, receipts, reports, purchase orders. AI reads these documents, pulls out the figures and names, and organizes them into a table you can analyze.
In three steps.
1. A photo or a PDF
A photo taken with a phone or a scanned document is enough, even if it isn’t perfectly straight.
Cement 42.5 kg × 20 …… 260.00Rebar 12 mm × 50 ……. 410.00Transport ……………. 35.00
TOTAL USD …………. 705.00
2. AI extraction
The AI recognizes the supplier, the date, the invoice number, each line and the total. The amounts are checked: the lines must add up to the total.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Supplier | Supplier A (hardware store) |
| Invoice | 2026-0417 |
| Date | 12/10/2026 |
| Lines | 3 |
| Total | $705.00 ✓ |
3. The result
Hundreds of invoices become a single table: spending by supplier, by month or by site.
The documents we read
- PDFs: tables, reports, statements.
- Word and text documents.
- Scanned documents and photos of invoices or receipts.
- Technical formats: JSON and XML.
