What is Document Parsing?
What does 'Document Parsing' mean?
Document parsing reads a PDF, scan, slide deck or spreadsheet and returns ordered text with its structure intact: headings, tables, figures and reading order preserved rather than flattened. It is the step that quietly decides retrieval quality, because a table turned into a run of loose numbers can never be retrieved correctly no matter how good the ranking is. Rates usually differ by mode, so price the mode your real documents need rather than the cheapest one listed.
