OCR for legal documents

Koncile includes a built-in confidence scoring system that assesses the reliability of data extracted from legal documents such as contracts, court rulings, notarized deeds, or procedural records.

This score is based on several factors, including the document’s readability, the complexity of the information to be extracted, and the volume of text processed. For instance, a poorly scanned contract or a dense legal document may impact the accuracy of the extraction.

Our algorithm performs both visual analysis (image quality, text clarity) and semantic analysis (clause consistency, contextual recognition of legal terminology) to generate an overall confidence score.

This score helps quickly identify the most reliable data, prioritize manual reviews when necessary, and streamline the review and validation process within your legal workflows.

OCR technology is transforming legal document processing

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is revolutionizing how law firms, legal departments, and compliance teams manage scanned documents, PDFs, and images. It enables access to critical information often buried or inaccessible in contracts, agreements, or regulatory documents.

Key benefits for the legal sector include:

• Significant time savings: Manual data entry is eliminated through automation, with targeted extraction of key information such as dates, parties, and clauses. No more searching or retyping.
• Fewer errors: Reduced human input minimizes the risk of mistakes in reading or transcribing legal content.
• Increased productivity: Document processing is accelerated, allowing legal professionals to focus on higher-value tasks.
• Creation of usable legal databases: Unstructured content—such as paper contracts, scanned agreements, or attachments—is transformed into structured data, ready for analysis or integration.
• Optimized workflows: Reliable and accessible data improves legal review processes, contract lifecycle management, and compliance tracking.
• Faster legal decision-making: Quick access to accurate information enhances responsiveness and helps secure legal operations.

Powered by large language models (LLMs), Koncile goes beyond traditional OCR by understanding the context of legal documents, enabling intelligent data extraction and seamless integration with your contract management, compliance, or legal operations tools.

Koncile’s OCR solution transforms manual legal document processing into a reliable, fast, and secure digital workflow.
Ideal for law firms, legal departments, and compliance teams, it enables the efficient structuring and extraction of information from legal documents such as contracts, official records, supporting documents, and regulatory filings.

• No more manual data entry: Automatically extracts data from legal documents including contracts, articles of incorporation, court decisions, powers of attorney, identity documents, and client file attachments.
• Intelligent extraction: Koncile understands the structure of legal documents—clauses, annexes, headers, tables—and accurately identifies key information such as party names, dates, legal references, amounts, and deadlines.
• Structured, actionable data: Extracted information is delivered in standardized formats (JSON, XML, CSV), ready for integration with your contract management systems, client databases, or compliance tools.
• Seamless system integration: Data can be automatically pushed to your existing platforms (digital files, ERPs, legal software) via APIs or custom connectors.
• Automation of legal workflows: Documents are automatically classified by type (contract, supporting document, court decision), workflows are triggered (review, approval, e-signature), and missing or non-compliant elements are flagged.

In short, Koncile allows you to digitize, extract, structure, classify, and integrate data from your legal documents—reducing errors, shortening processing times, and strengthening regulatory compliance.

Its advanced OCR technology, combined with artificial intelligence, allows Koncile to handle large documents without compromising extraction accuracy.
The platform recognizes the structure of contracts—including headings, clauses, annexes, and tables—and accurately identifies key information, even in complex and content-heavy documents.

Koncile maintains consistent performance regardless of document length, making it a reliable solution for processing long contracts across legal, real estate, or industrial sectors. Extracted data is delivered in usable formats, ready to be integrated into your business systems.
