AI OCR software that turns documents into data

Parseur is AI OCR software that turns scanned invoices, receipts, and PDFs into clean, structured data for your spreadsheets. No templates, no manual data entry, accurate across any layout and 200+ languages.

OCR software that extracts data, not just text

OCR software uses optical character recognition to turn scanned documents, PDFs, and images into machine-readable text. Traditional OCR stops there and leaves you retyping the numbers. Parseur is AI OCR software: it reads the document with Vision AI and Text AI and extracts labeled fields, like invoice numbers, dates, totals, and line items, straight into your spreadsheet, database, or API. Parseur has processed more than 100 million pages since 2016 for teams in finance, insurance, logistics, and e-commerce.

OCR for every document

Parseur reads text from any document your team receives.

Text-based PDFs

Parseur reads the text layer of searchable, text-based PDFs directly, so extraction is fast and lossless.

Scanned PDFs and images

For scanned PDFs, photos, and images with no text layer, Parseur's Vision AI engine recognizes the text, extracts the fields, and validates each value before it is exported.

Emails and text documents

Parseur's Text AI engine reads emails (including rich HTML emails with pictures and links) and other text documents directly, with no OCR step that could introduce errors.

Spreadsheets and more

Parseur also reads spreadsheets (Excel, CSV), Word documents, web pages, and 25+ formats. See the complete list of supported file types.

Reads 200+ languages

Parseur's AI OCR is trained on language-specific datasets, so accuracy holds across scripts, from Arabic to Japanese, not just Latin alphabets.

200+ languages supported

Parseur recognizes text in more than 200 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hebrew, Arabic, and Hindi. Date and number formats are detected from each document's context.

Handwriting recognition

Parseur recognizes handwritten text in Latin, Japanese, and Korean alphabets, with experimental support for Chinese, Greek, Cyrillic, and Vietnamese.

From text to structured data

Plain OCR turns an image into text. Parseur's AI engines turn that text into structured data, with the fields labeled, the tables split into rows, and every value validated before it reaches your tools. No templates to build and no manual data entry.

Vision AI

Reads scanned PDFs, photos, and images, and extracts fields and line-item tables from any layout, with no template to build.

Text AI

Reads emails and text documents and extracts the fields you need as structured data, even when the wording changes from one message to the next.

Structured export

Sends validated data to Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, JSON, and 6,000+ apps through Zapier, Make, and Power Automate, or by real-time webhook.

Have documents that always use the exact same layout? You can also draw fixed extraction zones with the template engine, Zonal OCR, and Dynamic OCR for pixel-precise control.

OCR software FAQ

Common questions about AI OCR software and how Parseur turns documents into structured data.

OCR software uses optical character recognition to convert scanned documents, PDFs, and images into machine-readable text. Modern AI OCR software goes a step further and extracts that text as structured data, like dates, amounts, and line items, so the information flows straight into your other tools. Learn more about AI OCR.

Parseur's AI OCR is trained on more than 100 million documents and reads text accurately across layouts, languages, and scan quality. Built-in validation checks each extracted field before the data is exported, so mistakes are caught automatically rather than passed downstream.

No. Parseur's Vision AI and Text AI engines extract data automatically, with no per-layout templates to build. A template engine remains available for fixed layouts that must produce identical output every time.

Yes. Parseur recognizes handwritten text in Latin, Japanese, and Korean alphabets, with experimental support for Chinese, Greek, Cyrillic, and Vietnamese scripts.

Yes. Parseur extracts header fields and line items from invoices, receipts, and purchase orders, validates the totals, and sends the data to your accounting tools. See receipt OCR and invoice data extraction.

Traditional OCR converts an image into raw text and stops there. AI OCR software adds machine learning and language models to understand a document's structure, so it returns labeled, structured fields instead of an undifferentiated block of text. See how Vision AI compares to OCR.

Yes. Parseur's Vision AI engine reads scanned PDFs, phone photos, and images that have no text layer, and extracts the fields and tables as structured data. Read more about AI document parsing.

Parseur reads more than 200 languages and detects date and number formats from each document's context, so regional variations are parsed correctly without extra configuration.

Extracted data is exported automatically to Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, JSON, or 6,000+ apps through Zapier, Make, and Power Automate, or delivered in real time by webhook. See all exports and integrations.
