Technology

The technology behind better document workflows

Our work combines recognition models, our own font and glyph data, document-processing methods and structure-aware editing.

Character and font intelligence

Every recognition and editing task starts with the shape of a character in a particular font. We collected and checked this data ourselves.

380,849unique fontsEvery font in the collection is unique: exact copies are kept only once, while different versions of a font count separately.
24.0 Mcharacter fingerprintsA compact description of one character's shape in one font, used to find fonts and look-alike letters.
≈ 13.8 Mvalidated glyphs11.7 M letters, 1.9 M digits and 0.2 M other signs, each labelled from a trusted font source, checked by a person or confirmed by several independent readers.
1,643characters in our newest modelLatin, Cyrillic and Greek letters with accents, digits and signs; letters of one shape share a class, so the model has 1,593 classes.

Recognition

A character model built on ConvNeXt-Small (≈ 49.5 M parameters) reads single characters at ≈ 99.85 % on clean and ≈ 99.65 % on scan-like characters in our internal test. The next stage reads whole text lines; preliminary line accuracy is about 93–94 %.

Document structure

A document is more than text: columns, headings, blocks and the relations between them. For résumés we map this structure to a schema of 234 fields in 21 blocks.

Processing and editing

Editing a PDF means changing content while the typography, layout and graphics stay as they were. PDFit uses the fonts embedded in the document; RESUMagic, in development, adds an understanding of résumé sections and blocks.

Training and evaluation

Models are trained with hard-example mining, targeted retraining and simulated scanner and camera damage. They are tested on held-out internal data and on public benchmarks, olmOCR-bench and UNLV.
