What it is

Text Recognition is a new skill in the Skill Library: it reads text from images and, where possible, returns usable structured fields. Think of it this way: users upload an ID, invoice, or product photo in your app; the system recognizes the text and fills forms or continues the flow—no separate third-party OCR integration and no manual typing. One-line positioning: Integrate professional text recognition into your product—extract text and structured information from images with precision.

​
Good for

Common scenarios:
  • Document review: ID cards, passports, driver licenses, vehicle licenses, business licenses, and more
  • Finance / receipts: VAT invoices, mixed receipts, bank cards, and more
  • Operations: license plates, tables, text on product images
  • General extraction: printed and handwritten text
Better than “just ask an AI to look at the image” for documents: IDs and invoices aim for field-level results (name, number, amount, etc.)—more accurate and usually more efficient.

Privacy & compliance (required)

In-product notices include:

  • The platform does not retain original images or recognition results.
  • Before using someone else’s ID image, confirm you have their authorization.
For KYC, account opening, or expense products, add authorization copy in your own product as well.

​
vs. integrating a cloud OCR yourself

Best for teams that want photo-to-text / ID recognition quickly without wiring a separate cloud OCR.

FAQ
