Insurance Document OCR
Insurance documents arrive as PDFs, scans or photographs, in formats that vary by insurer. Insurance Document OCR is the general-purpose reading capability underneath PolicyIQ | Extract's more specific tools — Policy Data Extraction, Proposal Form OCR, Motor Policy OCR and Health Policy OCR — each applying it to a particular document type.
Reading a document is only useful if the output can be trusted and used elsewhere. Insurance Document OCR is built to recognise the fields insurance documents actually contain, not just extract a wall of unstructured text, so the result is ready for validation and use rather than another manual clean-up step.
What challenges does Insurance Document OCR address?
- Documents arrive as scans, PDFs or photos in inconsistent insurer formats
- Manual re-typing introduces transcription errors
- No structured way to feed extracted data into other systems
- Slow turnaround when documents pile up
How does it fit into PolicyIQ | Extract?
Once a document is read, its output passes through Data Validation before reaching a brokerage's or insurer's own systems, and can connect through the OCR API rather than requiring manual export and import.
Category-specific extraction for motor and health policies builds directly on this same reading capability, rather than starting from scratch.
What does Insurance Document OCR include?
- Text and field recognition across common insurance document types
- Output structured into usable data fields, not just raw text
- A foundation for category-specific extraction (motor, health, proposal forms)
- A direct handoff into Data Validation before use
What outcomes does Insurance Document OCR support?
- Faster document turnaround
- Fewer manual transcription errors
- Structured data ready for downstream systems

Frequently asked questions
Insurance Document OCR is designed to read scans, PDFs and photographed insurance documents. TODO(content): confirm the specific supported file formats once verified.
It's built to handle the layout variation across different insurers' documents, with category-specific extraction (Motor Policy OCR, Health Policy OCR) tuned further for those document types.
