What the original documents

Unlimited OCR publishes a scan-to-text demo; Docling publishes structured document conversion.

Claim boundary: These projects document extraction capabilities, not accuracy on a reader’s scan.

This page explains a source-documented method. It is not an independent Studio Nani reproduction or performance guarantee.

Follow the workflow and check each result

  1. Upload one page.Output: One OCR jobCheckpoint: Check the service’s data policy.
  2. Extract the text.Output: Raw copyable textCheckpoint: Do not summarize yet.
  3. If needed, convert headings, paragraphs, or tables into a structured form.Output: Structured draft textCheckpoint: Keep uncertain regions marked.
  4. Compare names, numbers, dates, and table cells with the scan.Output: Corrected text and flagsCheckpoint: Only corrected text moves to the next task.

Worked output shape — no made-up values

Extracted text plus a check-needed list for handwriting, numbers, tables, and blurred regions; no document values are invented.
