Automate Price Tag Data Extraction in 3 Simple Steps
Extract data automatically extract data from retail price tags to ramp up your market research. Integrate our price tag OCR via API or SDK.
Uploading price tag images to our OCR & data extraction API
The first step is providing a picture or a PDF file of a price tag to our OCR API. This is typically done from a mobile app or a web application.
The document can be sent cropped or uncropped (with background). If the scan is sent uncropped, the Klippa API will automatically crop the document using bounding box detection. The Klippa price tag scanning SDKcan also be used in mobile apps to ensure good quality input.
Image to text using OCR for price tags
As soon as a picture or PDF of the price tag is received, it is converted to a TXT file by our engine. At this stage, all the text from the document is extracted, but not yet structured.
Getting JSON output from the API
The Klippa Parser takes the TXT gained from the OCR in step 2 and converts it into structured JSON using machine learning. The JSON is then returned as output from the API. From here the price tag can easily be processed into your database.
Klippa can help you scan and process price tags for a wide range of purposes. These include loyalty programs, inventory and category analysis, data gathering for competitor analysis! Whatever you need to scan, Klippa is here to help!

How can I integrate Klippa’s price tag scanning OCR software?
Our API can be implemented into any software, web or mobile solution that you may be using. The main source of communication is JSON, so it is independent of specific programming languages.
Our mobile SDKs have been built using native IOS (Swift) and native Android (Kotlin). This means they can be implemented into native apps, but they can also be wrapped for cross-platform languages such as Xamarin, ReactNative, Nativescript, Flutter, PhoneGap, Cordova, Ionic and more.
Klippa’s solution is made in a developer-friendly way. Our software is well-documented, so that developers can have all the information they need to successfully implement OCR API.
What machine learning techniques are used for price tag image recognition and OCR?
Klippa uses a combination of multiple techniques to extract data from price tags.The first step is a deep learning algorithm to detect bounding boxes which comes from the field of computer vision. Klippa leverages this technique to identify and crop price tags from images from for example super market shelves. As soon as this is done we perform OCR to identify what text is written on the cropped images.
When we have identified all text, we use natural language processing (NLP) to determine which text has what meaning. By looking at words and characters we automatically determine what text belongs to the description, what numbers to the prices, volume and serial number for example.
In the end, our backend processes this information into a JSON output that is easy to process for our clients.
