Welcome to the official community hub for DeepRead.
DeepRead is an AI-native document processing API that turns PDFs, scans, and images into structured data, measured against other vendors on deepread.tech/benchmarks. It has two engines: Extract (one OCR pass) and Deep Extract (two OCR passes and an LLM judge); every field carries a review flag, so uncertain fields go to human review instead of being guessed.
Three capabilities, one API key:
- OCR & Structured Extraction — Convert any document to text or structured JSON with per-field review flags (
needs_review,review_reason) that tell you exactly which fields need review. - Form Filling (Enterprise plans) — Upload a blank PDF form + your data as JSON. AI detects fields visually, maps data semantically, fills the form, and quality-checks the result. Works on scanned, non-editable PDFs.
- PII Redaction (Enterprise plans) — Detect and redact 14 types of PII (names, SSNs, credit cards, medical records, etc.) with irreversible black bar redaction. Context-aware: knows doctor vs patient, institutional vs personal. Built for HIPAA/GDPR redaction workflows.
Enterprise accounts can bring their own LLM key.
Free tier: 2,000 pages/month, no credit card required. Extract $15 and Deep Extract $35 per 1,000 pages.
