Document extraction

How do I extract data from receipts, invoices, and bank statements?

Use document-specific extraction templates that understand each document type: receipt line items, invoice totals and payment terms, and bank statement transactions and balances.

Short answer

Use document-specific extraction templates that understand each document type: receipt line items, invoice totals and payment terms, and bank statement transactions and balances.

What this means in practice

Each document type needs its own schema and validation rules. Treating every file as generic OCR text creates fragile downstream parsing.

Cogneris classifies the document first, then routes it to the right extraction schema.
