Document Type Collection

The DocumentType parameter specifies the type of document you're processing, enabling the AI to precisely extract structured data based on the selected document category. Selecting the correct document type improves extraction accuracy by applying optimized data extraction rules tailored for each category. Choose manual if you prefer to exclusively define CustomExtractionData parameter.

Select the DocumentType that matches your document:

  • Auto - Attempts to identify the document as one of the listed types and applies the corresponding extraction rules.

  • Invoice - Extract structured data from invoices, including invoice number, dates, totals, vendor details, and line items.

  • Receipt - Optimized extraction for payment receipts, capturing dates, totals, vendor details, and payment methods.

  • Contract - Captures critical details from contracts or agreements, including parties involved, dates, terms, and conditions.

  • Identification - Designed for identification documents like passports, driver's licenses, or national ID cards, extracting names, dates, document numbers, and other identifying information.

  • Financial - Specifically targets financial documents, including bank statements and transaction records, extracting transaction dates, amounts, balances, and descriptions.

  • Form - Extracts structured data from standard forms containing predefined fields, ideal for surveys, applications, and questionnaires.

  • Manual - Disables predefined AI document extraction presets. Only manually configured extraction parameters are used, giving full control to the user.
