Where digitization falls short
Most OCR tools weren't built for Indian documents. Complex layouts, dense tables, and scripts where a single matra changes the word.
Complex layouts break
Multi-column pages, dense tables, and mixed-format documents come out garbled.
Indic scripts are misread
Conjuncts, matras, and diacritics get confused. Low-resource scripts are worse.
Tables lose structure
Rows merge, columns shift, and cell boundaries disappear.
No way to fix errors
One-shot output. If the OCR is wrong, you redo it manually.
Raw text dumps
You get a wall of text. No layout, no reading order, no structure.
The Akshar Pipeline
Four stages, powered by vision-language models. A proprietary harness keeps output reliable on messy, real-world documents.

Layout understanding
Identifies paragraphs, headers, tables, footnotes, and figures in the document.

Reading order
Figures out how the document is meant to be read, across columns and sections.

Text extraction
OCR across 22 Indic languages and English. Handles multilingual pages.

Structured output
Returns HTML, JSON, or Markdown. Layout and reading order stay intact.
Proofreading with visual grounding
You see every change before it exports. Nothing leaves without your approval.
Review and correct before export
Every block, paragraph, and table cell is linked to its location in the source document. You always see where things came from.



Click any extracted element to see its position in the original scan.
Fix text, relabel blocks, and restructure layout with the source document alongside.
Describe what you want changed. The agent applies it across the entire document.
