Can AI read and understand scanned documents?

Yes, AI can read and understand scanned documents. This capability primarily relies on Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to convert scanned images into machine-readable text and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to comprehend the extracted content.

Key capabilities depend on the document's quality and complexity. AI effectively processes typed text within clear, standard layouts using advanced OCR. Post-OCR, NLP techniques analyze the text for meaning, intent, and relationships. However, handwritten text, complex formats like tables, poor-quality scans (low resolution, blur, stains), and documents in rare languages pose significant challenges. Accuracy decreases considerably under these conditions.

This technology automates document processing workflows, offering substantial value. It enables data extraction for forms and invoices, categorization of documents for management, efficient information retrieval, and redaction of sensitive content. These applications drastically reduce manual labor, speed up processing times, improve accuracy, and unlock insights from large document archives.
