How to extract data using AI Suggestions

Use AI Suggestions in Form Extraction to automatically detect fields and extract data from structured documents such as IDs, tax forms, receipts, and invoices.

AI Suggestions automatically detect data fields and extract data from a wide range of structured documents at scale, whether they are similarly or differently formatted. This reduces manual work and speeds up document processing. AI Suggestions are available in DataSnipper v6.1 or later.
