Why Veryfi

Unlock a Wealth of Data in Invoices

What is Invoices OCR API?
Invoices OCR API is an API (Application Programming Interface) that turns your invoice into data in seconds using AI. You can send invoices to the API in any format (pdf, image, etc) and receive the response in a structured (key/value) JSON irrespective of invoice structure, geography or language. Veryfi’s AI runs proprietary foundational models trained on hundreds of millions of invoices so it can understand all possible data (see supported fields) on your invoice and even those pesky taxes and handwriting in various geographies.

What is Invoices OCR?
Invoices OCR (optical character recognition or optical character reader) is the electronic or mechanical conversion of invoice images, invoice paper, and handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text using software. This work traditionally required manual human labor but that was inefficient and ripe for mistakes. Veryfi Invoices OCR API will also return the OCR text in every JSON response for you to further customize the application of this data in your application for various purposes like automating bill pay with level 3 data, 2/3 way matching in AP, fraud detection, inventory management and more.
