How Do I Connect an Uploaded Document to Automatic Data Extraction?
You connect a document to automatic extraction by uploading it directly to a table configured with Image Reader, letting AI extract key fields without any manual typing. On Jestor, this runs through Image Reader (OCR).
Manually typing data from an uploaded document, like an invoice or contract, into structured fields is repetitive work that also risks a transcription error on important details.
What manual document data entry costs
- Time spent retyping the same categories of information from every document
- Risk of a transcription error on financially or legally significant fields
- Staff time spent on data entry instead of higher-value review and exceptions
- Processing delays when document volume is unusually high
How automatic document data extraction works
- The document, invoice, contract, or receipt, is uploaded directly to a table
- Image Reader (OCR) extracts key fields automatically upon upload
- Extracted data populates the record without manual typing
- Staff review the extraction rather than typing every field from scratch
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Automatic extraction removes the bulk of repetitive manual data entry
- This reduces the risk of typos on financially or legally significant fields
- Staff time shifts from data entry toward higher-value review work
- This scales from occasional documents to a high volume of uploads
