PDF Analysis Made Simple: OCR, Charts & Scanned Documents

Coral AI's powerful PDF Analyzer handles any type of PDF - text-based, scanned, or full of charts. Zero configuration required.

The PDF Problem

PDFs are everywhere, but they're notoriously difficult to extract information from. Scanned documents, complex charts, and multi-column layouts often defeat traditional tools. Coral AI solves this with a 3-tier extraction system.

3-Tier Extraction System

Tier 1: Direct Text Extraction

For standard text-based PDFs, Coral uses PyPDF to directly extract text content. Fast, accurate, and works for most business documents.

Tier 2: OCR (Optical Character Recognition)

For scanned documents and images, Coral uses EasyOCR to recognize and extract text. Handles handwriting, old documents, and poor quality scans.

Tier 3: AI Vision Analysis

For complex charts, graphs, and tables, Coral uses Gemini Vision API to understand visual elements that can't be extracted as text.

What Can Coral Analyze?

Business reports & proposals
Scanned receipts & invoices
Financial charts & graphs
Complex data tables

How to Use

Simply say one of these commands:

  • "Read this PDF"
  • "Analyze the chart in this document"
  • "What does this PDF say about [topic]?"
  • "Summarize this document"

Zero Configuration

Unlike other tools that require installing Poppler, Tesseract, or other dependencies, Coral AI's PDF Analyzer works out of the box. Just install Coral AI and start analyzing PDFs immediately.
