Document extraction

Can document extraction detect document types automatically?

Yes. Document classification can identify whether a file is an invoice, receipt, bank statement, ID, claim, contract, payroll document, tax form, or another supported type before extraction starts.

Short answer

Yes. Document classification can identify whether a file is an invoice, receipt, bank statement, ID, claim, contract, payroll document, tax form, or another supported type before extraction starts.

What this means in practice

Classification matters because each document type has different fields, validation rules, and routing logic.

In a document portal, automatic classification also helps match uploads to checklist items and catches cases where a user uploaded the wrong document.
