Data extraction from resumes
An image speaks more than a thousand words. Below is an example of the three steps our OCR engine takes to automatically extract data from resumes.
Uploading resumes to the API
The first step is providing a picture or a PDF file of a contract to our API. Usually this is done from a mobile app, email, FTP or web application.
The document can be sent cropped or uncropped (with some kind of background). If it is sent uncropped, the Klippa API will automatically crop the document.
Image to text using OCR
As soon as a resume picture or PDF has been received, each page is converted to a TXT file. In this step all the text from the document is extracted, but it is 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. The resume is now searchable and important data fields like experience- or skill entries, addresses, and more have been extracted.
From here the resume can easily be processed into your database or temporarily stored as a searchable PDF.

Quickly finding the right candidate can become much easier with OCR.

We support all languages in the Latin, Greek and Hebrew alfabet. Other languages can be supported on request by training our machine learning models.
