Technical Specifications & Engine Capabilities
| Specification | Implementation Details |
|---|---|
| Supported Scan Types | Flatbed scans, photocopied ledgers, paper invoices, camera photos (PDF, PNG, JPG, WEBP) |
| Recommended Resolution | 300 DPI for standard typography; 150 DPI minimum for legible text |
| Image Preprocessing | Automated skew correction (±15°), Otsu adaptive thresholding, morphological noise removal |
| OCR Engine | Local Tesseract OCR engine coupled with OpenCV contour detection |
| Data Retention & Privacy | TLS 1.3 transfer, isolated container execution, automated 30-minute auto-purge TTL |
Document Layout Handling & Extraction Behavior
Different document structures require specialized parsing logic to prevent broken rows and misaligned columns:
| Document Layout | Processing Method | Expected Spreadsheet Output |
|---|---|---|
| Uneven Lighting or Shadowed Scans | Otsu adaptive thresholding & local contrast equalization | Normalizes background paper texture and sharpens faint numbers |
| Rotated or Skewed Paper Sheets | Hough transform deskewing algorithm (±15°) | Straightens tilted lines to align horizontal rows and vertical columns |
| Faded Dot-Matrix Printer Numbers | Morphological closing to bridge character gaps | Accurately transcribes dot-matrix numerals without missing digits |
| Handwritten Margin Notes | Confidence score filtering for printed vs cursive text | Extracts printed tabular data while excluding stray pencil annotations |
Common Conversion Challenges & Troubleshooting
1. Blurry or Low-Resolution Scans (< 150 DPI)
Cause: Compressed scans blur critical decimal points and cause character confusion between '8', '3', and '0'.
Solution: Rescan documents at 300 DPI in black-and-white or high-contrast grayscale mode before uploading for conversion.
2. Dark Binding Shadows Near Page Margins
Cause: Book spines or scanner lids leave thick black margins that OCR can mistake for table borders.
Solution: Crop off dark page margins before uploading, or use the interactive preview table to delete extraneous border artifacts.
3. Tilted or Keystoned Smartphone Photos
Cause: Taking photos of paper sheets at an angle causes perspective distortion across columns.
Solution: Capture photos directly perpendicular to the document under flat, uniform lighting, or use a mobile scanning app with automatic edge flattening.
