Bills, statements, handwritten forms, or scans. Structured data out, no template required. The Generic OCR Service allows you to extract structured text and field-level data from virtually any type of document, even if it’s not a standard ID or form. This is useful when working with files like utility bills, handwritten documents, bank statements, or any scanned paper that contains useful data. Whether it’s text-heavy, printed, or partially handwritten, the OCR engine reads and returns usable data in a clean, structured format. *** #### What It Does * Accepts document uploads (images or PDFs) * Uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract readable content * Returns both raw text and structured key-value data * Supports multiple languages and document layouts You can upload anything, from a filled-out physical form to a scanned multi-page document, and receive both unstructured and parsed outputs. *** #### Common Use Cases Use the Generic OCR Service when you need to: * Parse bank statements, utility bills, invoices, or receipts * Digitize handwritten or scanned documents * Extract details from KYC documents that are not government-issued * Pre-process form submissions for backend automation This tool is especially helpful in onboarding, document analysis, or compliance workflows that require supplementary documents beyond standard IDs. *** #### When to Use It * When you don’t need identity verification but still want to read and use document data * When your verification flow includes uploads like proof of address, income, or tax records * When you're processing documents submitted outside of EasyOnboard and need a flexible reader * As a fallback when standard document verification does not support a specific file format or region *** #### Integration Option You can access the Generic OCR Service via a simple POST request with a file payload. It returns parsed data and metadata in real time.
