Businesses waste up to 30% of their time on manual data extraction and repetitive data entry. That’s time lost combing through reports, contracts, invoices, and ID documents—unstructured files that don’t fit neatly into fixed templates.

Enter Apryse’s Key-Value Extraction: A powerful new capability within our Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) suite that extracts structured data from even the most unstructured documents—seamlessly, accurately, and at scale.

Over time, Apryse’s IDP suite has expanded from simple structured document processing to advanced AI-driven extraction. From early support for form-based automation to AI-powered table recognition, auto form field creation, and now Key-Value Extraction, Apryse has continuously pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in document automation.

With Key-Value Extraction, businesses can intelligently identify and extract critical information—like names, dates, amounts, and addresses—from unstructured, free-text documents. Instead of relying on rigid templates, it recognizes key terms and their corresponding values, even when formats vary.

How This Problem is Solved Today

Businesses today rely on three primary methods for extracting structured data:

  • Manual Data Entry – Slow, expensive, and prone to errors.
  • Template-Based Extraction – Works only for predictable layouts, failing when documents vary or come from unknown sources.
  • Cloud-Based API Services – Provide extraction but lack control, flexibility, and on-premise processing. They also introduce security risks—especially for industries handling sensitive data like PII (Personally Identifiable Information) in finance, healthcare, and legal sectors, where sending documents to third-party servers can be a compliance challenge.

Each of these approaches comes with trade-offs—either sacrificing speed, accuracy, or control.

Apryse’s Key-Value Extraction doesn’t.

Instead of relying on rigid templates, it intelligently identifies key-value relationships within free-text documents. Whether it’s a bank statement, legal contract, insurance form, or government ID, Apryse extracts the critical information you need—without requiring structured formats.

Why Key-Value Extraction Stands Out

Many solutions today offer API-based key-value extraction, where businesses send documents to a cloud service and receive extracted data. While effective for basic use cases, this model comes with limitations:

  • Limited Customization – You’re constrained by what the API can recognize.
  • Data Privacy Concerns – Documents must be sent to an external service.
  • Reliance on External Processing – Performance depends on cloud availability and processing limits.

Apryse takes a different approach.

  • SDK-Based, Not Just an API – Businesses can integrate Key-Value Extraction directly into their applications.
  • No Data Leaves Your System – Unlike cloud APIs, everything can run locally or on-prem.
  • Flexible Deployment – Run locally, in a private cloud, or deploy anywhere on Windows or Linux giving businesses full control over costs and infrastructure.
  • Seamless IDP Integration – Part of Apryse’s IDP suite, requiring no extra setup.

Who Benefits?

From large enterprises to OEMs and software developers, Key-Value Extraction empowers businesses that rely on unstructured documents:

Finance & Banking – Extract key details from contracts, invoices, and compliance documents.

Healthcare – Process insurance claims and pull patient details from non-standard forms.

Legal & Contracts – Identify clauses, dates, and parties from diverse contract formats.

Government & ID Processing – Automate data extraction from passports, driver’s licenses, and tax documents.

Why Now?

Manual data processing slows businesses down, introduces errors, and increases costs. Organizations need solutions that are faster, more flexible, and require less setup—that’s exactly what Apryse’s Key-Value Extraction delivers.

If your business deals with document-heavy workflows, it’s time to upgrade.
