Document Understanding

Turn documents into clean, validated data.

Invoices, receipts, purchase orders, statements and forms, from PDFs, scans or phone photos. Read on your own machines, checked by a person only when the machine is not sure, and handed to your robots as structured data.

Robomotion Document Understanding: a 14-lesson course. From paper to data: read, check and train on your own documents.

From paper to data

Every document follows the same path. Confident results go straight through; the rest wait for a person, and every check feeds back into measuring and training.

  1. 01

    Taxonomy

    Schema: document types, fields, tables

  2. 02

    Digitize

    OCR and layout, scans and photos too

  3. 03

    Classify

    Split files, detect document types

  4. 04

    Extract

    Fields and line items with confidence

  5. 05

    Validate

    Business rules and human review

  6. 06

    Export

    Flow nodes, Excel, CSV, databases

Validations become labels: Measure accuracy on a test set, Train a better version, make it live.

Built for real documents

Accurate where it counts, honest when it is not sure, and better with every review.

Read on your own machines

Any computer running the Robomotion agent reads documents: a laptop, a server or a GPU box. Models download automatically and the machine picks the right profile for its hardware.

Private by default

Documents never leave your machines unless a project explicitly allows cloud models for hard pages. Set how long documents are kept, per project.

People check only what matters

Values below the confidence threshold, or failing a rule, go to the Validation Station. Everything else goes straight through to your flow.

Rules that catch confident mistakes

Line items that must add up to the total, dates that must be in order, patterns, ranges and custom formulas. A failing rule sends the document to review.

Measure, then train

Every check is a label. Measure precision and recall on a frozen test set, tune the threshold, and train a version tuned to your own documents.

Drafts and versions

Edit and try a draft safely. Publishing freezes a numbered version; robots use the live one until you make another live or roll back.

Start from a template or your samples

Pick a ready-made schema, drop a few sample documents and let AI draft one for you, or describe the fields yourself. Try it on a real document before you publish.

Use it in your flows

The Document Understanding package brings the project into any automation. No credential needed; the robot uses its workspace token.

  • Process Document: Read a file with the live version, create a review task when needed.
  • Wait For Review: Pause until a person validates or rejects, then continue.
  • Get Review Result: Collect reviews later when you process many documents.
  • Export: Fields and line items as tables for Excel, CSV or a database.
