Document extraction turns parts of a file into structured information a reviewer can compare. It can help make a reference, species description or weight easier to find across documents.

Extraction is a starting point

Scan quality, layout, handwriting and document variation can affect what is captured. A field may be missed, read incorrectly or need more context than the extracted value provides.

  • Open the source file when a check highlights a difference.
  • Confirm extracted details against the original document.
  • Treat missing or uncertain values as prompts to investigate.
  • Use current official guidance when deciding what must be filed.
