Document to Text

The Document to Text step lets you extract the text content from a document file. We use deterministic AI models to parse content from a variety of file types, including PDFs, Word documents, and more.

Tips

• If the document has structured elements, such as tables or multiple side-by-side elements, the extracted text may be parsed incorrectly. We try our best to remediate this issues, but we recommend cleaning the output up with a Generate Text step if this happens consistently.

Support File Types

The only mimetypes supported for OCR are:

• application/pdf
• image/gif
• image/tiff
• image/jpeg
• image/png
• image/bmp
• image/webp

Excel spreadsheets and Word documents are parsed using third party libraries. Anything else that isn’t in the above supported mimetype list is converted into plaintext.
