Work towards Tika 0.2 continues, Chris Mattman has volunteered to be the release manager The number of issues reported by external contributors is growing gradually. There was a Fast Feather Talk on Tika in ApacheCon EU 2008 We have good contacts especially with Apache POI and PDFBox We are working towards Tika 0.2 Metadata handling improvements are being discussed Tika 0.1 (incubating) has just been released. Chris Mattmann intends to use that release in Nutch, That's good progress towards Tika's goal of providing data extraction functionality to other projects. A new Tika logo was created by Google Highly Open Participation student, hasn't been integrated yet.

Reducto's parser reads documents like a human would—capturing layout, structure, and meaning with high accuracy. Our Agentic OCR reviews and corrects outputs in real-time for near-perfect results, even on edge cases. Reducto's parser reads documents like a human would—capturing layout, structure, and meaning with high accuracy. Our Agentic OCR reviews and corrects outputs in real-time for near-perfect results, even on edge cases. Automatically separate multi-document files or long forms into individually useful units. Intelligent heuristics and layout-aware splitting keep your pipelines clean and efficient—no manual pre-processing needed. Extract structured data directly from documents with schema-level precision. Whether it's invoice fields, onboarding forms, or financial disclosures, Reducto ensures the right data lands exactly where you need it. Fill in detected blanks, tables, and checkboxes with supplied data. No bounding boxes or pre-defined templates are required; Edit dynamically identifies fillable elements regardless of document layout or format, supporting scanned PDFs, digital forms, and complex multi-page documents. Reducto helped us parse documents we previously could not because of table complexity. It's probably the only AI product that has actually worked for us. Reducto first uses layout-aware models to break down the document visually, capturing regions, tables, figures, and text. VLMs make corrections to mistakes Like a human editor, our Agentic model can detect minor mistakes and correct them, ensuring accuracy even in the most detailed cases. VLMs review Reducto's outputs Vision-language models then interpret each region in context—linking labels to values, understanding tables, and classifying segments. Everything else you need to make your data LLM-ready. Battle-tested infrastructure you can trust in production and at scale. Hands-on forward deployed support and tailored SLAs to meet your enterprise needs. Run Reducto entirely within your own infrastructure—ideal for strict security, compliance, and data residency requirements. Widely trusted by enterprises worldwide
