Document intelligence marriage certificate model

The Document Intelligence Marriage Certificate model leverages advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to analyze and extract essential fields from marriage certificates. These certificates may come in various formats and quality levels, including phone-captured images, scanned documents, and digital PDFs. The API processes the document text, retrieves key information such as spouse names, issue dates, and marriage places, and delivers a structured JSON data output. The model currently supports English-language documents.

Automated marriage certificate processing involves extracting key fields from marriage certificates. Traditionally, this analysis has been done manually, making it very time-consuming. Accurately extracting essential data from marriage certificates is usually the first and one of the most critical steps in automating this process.
