Turn government documents into structured data.
DocLD helps agencies and government teams process high-volume, multi-format documents where precision matters. Parse regulations, FOIA responses, permits, procurement docs, and forms with one API — layout-aware extraction, OCR for scans, and citation-ready chunks for RAG and compliance.
Regulations and legislation
Dense legal and regulatory text, amendments, and citations.
Regulations, legislation, and policy documents combine dense text with cross-references, amendments, and footnotes where critical content lives. DocLD parses PDFs and documents with layout-aware extraction so you get clean text and structure — ready for semantic chunking and retrieval. Build RAG and agent flows that cite back to the exact section or provision for compliance and policy analysis.
Parse returns chunks with page and bounding-box context so your pipelines stay traceable and audit-ready for oversight and public record.
FOIA and public records
Mixed formats and large document sets for disclosure and discovery.
FOIA responses, public records requests, and discovery often involve thousands of pages in PDF, scanned images, and Office formats. DocLD supports files up to 100MB with semantic, fixed-size, or page-based chunking so you can tune for RAG quality and context windows.
Use the async Parse endpoint and webhooks for large document sets and batch jobs — no need to block on synchronous responses when processing request volumes.
Permits, applications, and forms
PDFs and scans with structured fields and handwritten input.
Permit applications, citizen forms, and intake documents often arrive as PDFs or scans, sometimes with handwritten fields. DocLD uses VLM-based OCR with 50+ languages and table extraction so you can ingest mixed-format documents through one API. Use the Extract API with schemas to pull specific fields (e.g. applicant name, dates, IDs) with citations back to the source for auditability.
Run parsing and extraction via API in your own environment, with configurable presets and webhooks for high-volume intake.
Procurement and contracts
RFPs, contracts, and compliance documentation with tables and terms.
RFPs, contracts, and compliance documentation combine narrative text with tables, pricing, and terms. DocLD parses PDFs and images with layout-aware extraction and table structure so you get clean text and tabular data for evaluation, clause extraction, and compliance checks.
Use the same Parse API for RFPs and contract PDFs as for spreadsheets and scans; Extract can pull structured fields with citations for decisioning and audit trails.
Compliance and audit trails
Traceable outputs and source citations for oversight and records.
Government workflows require linking every output back to its source for oversight and records retention. DocLD Parse returns chunks with page ranges and optional bounding boxes; Extract can pull structured fields with citations. Build RAG and agent flows that show where each answer came from for audit trails and regulatory review.
Run parsing and extraction in your own environment via API, with configurable presets and webhooks for batch jobs.
