Data extraction from bylaws
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 bylaws.
Uploading bylaws to the API
The first step is providing a picture or a PDF file of a bylaw document 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 the picture or PDF file 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 bylaws are now searchable and important data fields like categories, members, statements and more have been extracted.
From here the bylaws can easily be processed into your database or stored as a searchable PDF. Wether you are processing bylaws for legal, M&A or other purposes, Klippa is here to help.

What are bylaws?
Bylaws, sometimes also spelled as “by-laws”, are the legal documents that outline the rules, regulations and guidelines a company sets. They are established by the board of directors when they form their company.
Bylaws discuss issues like corporate officers, the board of directors responsibilities, how they are elected, terms of office, how and when board and shareholder meetings will be held, and how the board of directors functions.
The purpose of bylaws is to establish the company’s management structure, procedures and dispute resolution processes. As such, they serve as an operating manual for the organization.
Did you know that apart from bylaws, Klippa OCR can scan other types of legal documents, such as CoC extracts, contracts, proof of residence, and permits? Contact us for more information.
