Use Cases

Parselyze is perfect for:

• Invoice Processing: Extract invoice numbers, dates, amounts, and vendor information
• Receipt Analysis: Capture store names, items, and totals from receipts
• Form Processing: Extract data from standardized forms and documents
• Document Digitization: Convert paper documents into structured digital data

How It Works

Parselyze uses templates to extract structured data from your documents:

1. Create Templates: Design templates using our web interface to define what data to extract
2. Provide Documents: Send documents via API using your template ID
3. Get Results: Receive structured JSON data extracted from your documents

Templates are created and managed through the web dashboard - you cannot create templates via API.
