How AI-OCR works
Three modes for every need: plain text, positions with QR and barcodes, or the complete document analysis with tables and layout.
PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP or HEIC: via app, scanner, email, connector or API. In the workspace, AI-OCR runs automatically for every new document.
Text for speed, Grid for positions and codes, Complete for tables and layout. Every line comes with a bounding box and a confidence value, visible right on the page.
The document becomes full-text searchable, IDP Agents read fields on top of it, and you export as searchable PDF, Markdown or JSON.
Pricing
You pay for processed pages only, the same price in app, API and MCP. No subscription, no base fee.
€1 equals 1,000 credits. Every processed page is billed.
One price per page, three depths
| Mode | Price |
|---|---|
basic · Text | €0.01 per page |
premium · Grid + codes | €0.02 per page |
ultra · Complete | €0.03 per page |
Capabilities
Everything that happens in the app applies equally via API and MCP.
Printed or scanned, even mixed on one page. The language is detected automatically.
Every recognised line comes with its position on the page. Verifiable for review, highlighting and extraction.
Rows and columns are recognised and returned as structure, not as a text blob.
Codes on receipts, delivery notes and labels are read along and returned.
Faxes, smartphone photos and old copies are straightened and read.
Handwritten notes, forms and signatures are recognised and returned with confidence.
Every document gets an invisible text layer and becomes full-text searchable in the archive.
IDP Agents read fields on top of the OCR layer. One run, both results.
