Why is TableFlow better than traditional OCR for business documents?

TableFlow combines OCR with advanced AI to understand document context, structure, and relationships between data points. While traditional OCR only converts images to text, TableFlow extracts structured data, handles complex layouts, validates information, and provides business-ready output that integrates directly with your systems.

Can TableFlow handle documents that traditional OCR tools struggle with?

Yes, TableFlow excels with complex documents including multi-column layouts, tables with merged cells, handwritten text, documents with mixed content types, invoices from multiple vendors with different formats, and scanned documents with varying quality. Our AI adapts to different layouts automatically.

How much more accurate is TableFlow compared to basic OCR solutions?

TableFlow typically achieves >95% accuracy for business documents, compared to 70-85% for traditional OCR tools. This higher accuracy comes from AI understanding context, validating data against business rules, and using multiple models to cross-verify extracted information.

What's the cost difference between TableFlow and traditional OCR tools?

While traditional OCR tools may have lower upfront costs, TableFlow provides significantly better ROI through higher accuracy (reducing error correction costs), faster processing, automated validation, and direct system integration. Most customers see 60-80% cost savings in their overall document processing workflow.

Do I need to create templates for different document types with TableFlow?

No, TableFlow uses AI to automatically understand document structures without requiring predefined templates. The system learns from document patterns and adapts to new formats automatically, unlike traditional OCR solutions that often require extensive template configuration and maintenance.

How does TableFlow's processing speed compare to traditional OCR?

TableFlow processes most documents in 30 seconds to 3 minutes depending on complexity, which is comparable to OCR speed but with dramatically higher quality output. However, TableFlow eliminates the manual review and correction time required with OCR, making the end-to-end process 10-100x faster overall.
