Why It Works When Others Don't

Regular tools read one letter at a time—and give up when things are blurry. Our AI looks at the whole page, understands what it's seeing, and gives you clean text.

Reads the Whole Page

Not just individual letters—our AI understands tables, headings, lists, and diagrams as a complete document.

Tables Stay as Tables

Financial reports, spreadsheets, data tables—they come out organized, not as jumbled text.

Math & Equations

Scientific papers and technical documents with formulas? We convert them properly.

Keeps Your Formatting

Multi-column layouts, headers, bullet points—everything stays in the right place.

Any Language

Documents in French? Japanese? Arabic? No problem—we support 100+ languages.

Smart Reading

If a word is half-faded, our AI figures out what it should be from the context—just like you would.

Perfect for Challenging Documents

AI Vision excels where traditional OCR fails. Extract knowledge from documents that seemed impossible to digitize.

Top Use Case

Documents You Thought Were Lost

That contract from 2003 your lawyer scanned on an old machine? The family recipes grandma typed on a manual typewriter? They're not lost—they just need the right tool.

Phone Photos of Documents

Snapped a quick photo of a receipt, business card, or book page? We read it even with bad lighting and weird angles.

Handwritten Notes

Meeting notes on a whiteboard? Handwritten sticky notes? Even messy handwriting gets converted to clean text.

Complex Financial Documents

Annual reports, tax documents, invoices—all those tables and numbers stay perfectly organized.

Legal Paperwork

Court filings, contracts, depositions—get them searchable and ready for your legal software.

Research & Academic Papers

Scientific papers with equations, citations, and complex formatting? We handle them all.

"Will It Work on MY Documents?"

Probably. Here's what we've successfully read:

We've Read These Successfully

  • Legal contracts from the 1950s (typed on manual typewriters)
  • Carbon copies so faded you could barely see them
  • Phone photos taken in bad lighting at weird angles
  • Handwritten meeting notes (even messy ones)
  • Scanned receipts that were crumpled and wrinkled
  • Documents in 100+ different languages

The Only Things We Can't Read

  • •Completely black or completely white images (no content visible at all)
  • •Documents where ink has 100% disappeared
  • •Encrypted or password-protected PDFs

Our promise: If we can't read your document, you don't use any credits. Try your most challenging file first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AI Vision

What is AI Vision and how is it different?

AI Vision is like having a really smart assistant read your documents. Regular text extractors read one letter at a time and give up when things are blurry or faded. Our AI looks at the whole page—understanding context, structure, and even filling in gaps from surrounding text. It's the same technology behind ChatGPT, tuned specifically for reading documents.

Will it work on my really old, faded documents?

That's exactly what it's made for. We've successfully read documents from the 1940s—faded typewriter text, yellowed paper, carbon copies of carbon copies. If you can make out the words when you squint at it, our AI can probably read it. And sometimes it reads things we couldn't even see ourselves.

What about photos I took with my phone?

Phone photos are one of our specialties. Bad lighting? Weird angle? A bit blurry? No problem. Our AI doesn't need perfect conditions—it understands what it's looking at and extracts the text anyway.

How many documents can I process?

With Pro, you get 500 AI Vision credits per month. With Scale, you get 2,000 per month. A 5-page document uses 1 credit. A single photo uses 1 credit. That means you can process thousands of pages every month. Need more? Contact us about enterprise plans.

Is my data safe?

Completely. Your documents are processed using Microsoft Azure (the same security banks use), never stored after processing, and never used to train AI. We take privacy seriously—that's why legal and medical professionals trust us with sensitive documents.

What if it doesn't work on my document?

We're confident it will, but if a document truly can't be read, you don't lose any credits. Try your most challenging document first—you might be surprised what our AI can do.

Do I need to install anything?

Nope. Everything works in your browser. Upload your document, wait a few seconds, download your clean text. It's that simple.
