Alchemy Textract

Next Gen, AI-powered document OCR engine that extracts text from handwritten notes and poor quality scans.

Beyond Traditional OCR

Traditional OCR systems were designed for clearly printed documents with simple layouts. Alchemy Textract takes document processing to an entirely new level by fundamentally changing how text is identified and preserved.

How Alchemy Textract Works

Unlike traditional OCR that simply outputs formatted text, Alchemy Textract works at a granular level. It examines documents and identifies individual segments of text, determining the precise position of each segment on the page. For each text element, Textract creates a bounding box and records both its location and the text content within that box.

This structured data approach enables our specialized transformation process to apply advanced algorithms that:

  • Arrange identified text segments in proper reading order 
  • Create appropriate line breaks and spacing 
  • Format text to maintain the original layout integrity 
  • Preserve critical relationships between text elements

Key Advantages

Alchemy Textract delivers significant benefits that traditional OCR solutions cannot match:

  • Processes both printed and handwritten text with exceptional accuracy 
  • Maintains document structure and critical relationships between text elements 
  • Handles complex formatting without manual configuration 
  • Scales efficiently from hundreds to millions of pages 
  • Delivers truly searchable, usable document representations

Alchemy Textract transforms how professionals work with complex documents across multiple industries. By processing documents more like a human would, our system recognizes and captures both printed and handwritten text while handling complex formatting without manual configuration. This approach preserves critical document context and maintains relationships between text elements, creating searchable, usable document representations.

Real-World Applications

What sets Alchemy Textract apart is its efficiency at scale. The system automatically scales to process document collections of any size, from hundreds to millions of pages, completing large-scale OCR projects in hours rather than days or weeks.

Discovery and Investigations

Legal documents often contain exhibits with mixed content formats and variable layouts. Our system creates searchable text from even the most complex filings, maintaining the document integrity essential for legal work.

For discovery and investigations, Alchemy Textract delivers:

  • Accurate text extraction from handwritten notes on legal pads, sticky notes, and document margins
  • Preservation of critical information relationships in complex exhibits and appendices 
  • Searchable text from mixed-format document collections 
  • Efficient processing of case files containing thousands of pages 
  • Structured data output that integrates seamlessly with discovery platforms

Medical Records Processing

Medical records present unique challenges with their mix of physician’s handwritten notes and complex charts. Alchemy Textract preserves the critical relationships between printed text and handwritten annotations that give these documents their meaning.

For healthcare and legal professionals working with medical records, our solution provides:

  • Accurate extraction of handwritten physician notes 
  • Preservation of relationships between charts, tables, and annotations 
  • Structured processing that maintains chronological and contextual information 
  • Efficient analysis of patient records spanning multiple years and providers
  • Integration capabilities with medical record management systems

Efficiency at Any Scale

Whether processing hundreds of pages for a single case or millions of documents for a major investigation, Alchemy Textract delivers consistent results with exceptional efficiency. Our clients report:

  • 90% reduction in document processing time
  • Significant improvements in text recognition accuracy for challenging documents
  • Enhanced ability to search and analyze previously inaccessible handwritten content
  • Streamlined workflows that eliminate manual document processing steps

By combining powerful text detection capabilities with specialized processing algorithms, we deliver a comprehensive solution for even the most challenging document collections, transforming how professionals interact with complex document sets.

See the Difference for Yourself

Accurate Text Extraction: The Foundation of Document Intelligence

Today’s powerful GenAI tools can analyze documents, extract insights, and generate comprehensive summaries—but only when working with accurate text. Even the most advanced AI systems are effectively blind when fed poor-quality text extraction. The stark reality is that traditional OCR technology often fails with the complex documents that matter most in legal and medical contexts.

The examples below demonstrate how Alchemy Textract outperforms traditional OCR across challenging document types including:

  • Handwritten notes 
  • Complex forms with mixed formats
  • Poor quality scans and faxes 
  • Documents with annotations and markups
  • Mixed content with tables and charts

In each case, traditional OCR misses critical content and relationships, while Alchemy Textract delivers accurate, contextually rich text extraction. Notice how Textract preserves not just the words, but their spatial relationships and meaning—the difference between seeing isolated text fragments and understanding the complete document.

These comparisons illustrate why Alchemy Textract is essential for organizations leveraging AI for document analysis. Without accurate text extraction that preserves context and relationships, even the most sophisticated AI tools cannot deliver reliable results.
