P&L statement data extraction
An image speaks more than a thousand words. Below is an example of the three steps our OCR engine takes to automatically extract data from P&L statements.
Upload statement to the OCR API
The first step is providing a picture or a PDF file of one or multiple P&L statements. A statement can contain multiple pages. Usually uploading is done from a mobile app or a web application. Klippa automatically removes any background and corrects rotations.
If you do not have camera functionality in your app yet, the Klippa Camera SDK can help with scanning.
Image to text using OCR
The next step is converting the PDF or image into a readable text format using OCR. With OCR we get a text version of the document. Because we now have readable text we can move to the next step: getting structured data using machine learning.
Getting JSON output from the API
The Klippa Parser takes the TXT gained from the OCR in step 2 and converts it into structured JSON using machine learning. The JSON is then returned as output from the API. From here, the information on P&L statements can easily be processed in your database. Of course other file formats like CSV, XLSX, XML and more options are available.
