OCR and IDP (intelligent document processing)

Language, voice & vision

OCR, or optical character recognition, turns an image of text, from a scan or a photo, into usable text. IDP (Intelligent Document Processing) goes further by combining OCR, computer vision and language models to classify documents, extract the useful information and check its consistency.

In practice at Gensai

Gensai used Mistral's OCR for a notary's office, to extract information from case documents and automate the drafting of preliminary sale agreements.
