Intelligent Document Reader

What is the Intelligent Document Reader?

The Intelligent Document Reader is a system-managed tool that turns PDFs, Word files, and images into clean text that Duvo can easily work with. It extracts text, tables, and structure from documents — whether text-based or scanned.

What Can It Do?

The Intelligent Document Reader enables your assignments to:

• Read PDFs: Extract content from both text-based and scanned PDF documents

• Process images: Read text from photos, screenshots, and image files

• Handle scanned documents: Use OCR to extract text from scanned paperwork

• Extract tables: Recognize and extract tabular data from documents

• Interpret visual content: Read charts, graphs, and embedded images

Supported Formats

• PDFs (text-based and scanned)

• Word documents

• Images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP)

• Photos of documents

Not For Spreadsheets

Important: Do not use the Intelligent Document Reader for spreadsheet files like XLSX, XLS, or CSV. These are structured data formats, not documents.

When to Use It

Use the Intelligent Document Reader when your assignment needs to:

• Process PDF documents: Extract text and tables from any PDF

• Extract text from photos: Read text from photos of documents or screenshots

• Handle complex layouts: Work with documents that have tables, columns, or mixed content

• Process scanned paperwork: Convert paper documents into usable text

• Read visual content: Interpret charts, diagrams, or annotated images

When NOT to Use It

• XLSX/XLS files: These are spreadsheets, not documents

• CSV files: These are structured data, not documents

• Google Sheets: Use the Google Sheets connection instead

How It Works

When your assignment encounters a document, the Intelligent Document Reader analyzes its content and structure. For text-based documents, it extracts and organizes the text and tables. For scanned documents or images, it uses OCR to recognize text and structure. The result is clean, structured data your assignment can use.
