.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .pdf, .doc, .docx, .xlsx, .heic, .webp, and more.
Extract Data
As soon as a picture or PDF of your document has been received, each page is converted to a TXT file and the VAT number from the document is extracted.
Receive Formatted Output
The Klippa Parser then takes the TXT and converts it into structured data. Thanks to machine learning, you can have your data in a structured format like JSON, XML, or CSV.
