Algorithms Under the hood

• Face extraction is automatically performed using the /FACEDETECT API endpoint.
• /DOCSCAN already supports GET & POST HTTP methods so you can upload your document images directly from your application without relying on a foreign server. Refer to this Gist on how to do so.
• Upon the image processed on our server, it is automatically deleted. We do not keep trace or any log of your input images.
• Internally, we mainly rely on PP-OCR which is a practical ultra-lightweight OCR system that is mainly composed of three parts: Text Detection, Bounding Box Isolation, & Text Recognition. This combination produces highly accurate results in less than 5 seconds of processing.
