Why use OCR to JSON instead of plain OCR text?

Use OCR to JSON when your next step expects structure, such as fields, arrays, rows, or key-value data, rather than free-form text only.

What documents fit OCR to JSON best?

It is especially useful for tables, invoices, forms, and other documents where the output eventually needs to feed a system instead of just being read by a person.

Does structured output still need review?

Yes. Structured output is valuable for automation, but you should still validate key fields, row alignment, and edge cases before system import.

How does this relate to the OCR API?

Use this page to think about structured output and review in a user-facing workflow. Use the OCR API when your own application needs to request and process OCR results programmatically.
