Frequently asked questions
Why use zonal OCR instead of standard OCR?
Standard OCR grabs all visible text. Zonal OCR is smarter — you tell it where on the page to look, so it only extracts relevant data fields. It’s ideal for structured or semi-structured documents.
Can zonal OCR be used with scanned PDFs?
Yes — zonal OCR works best when applied to scanned or image-based PDFs where key data always appears in the same location on the page.
How does Nutrient support zonal OCR?
Nutrient's SDK/API allows you to define custom zones by coordinates (x, y, width, height) and extract text only from those regions — enabling accurate, field-level automation at scale.
Can zonal OCR handle multi-page PDFs with repeating structures?
Absolutely. You can define zones once and apply them across multiple pages or documents — perfect for batch processing high volumes of forms.
What about rotated or skewed scans?
Nutrient includes pre-processing tools (like deskewing and auto-rotation) to clean up images before OCR — improving accuracy even with slightly imperfect scans.
Can I extract data and push it to a database or workflow?
Yes. Extracted fields can be returned in JSON, XML, or plain text — ready to be pushed into databases, ERP systems, or downstream workflow automations.
