How Reducto works

Built to read the way humans do.

Reducto's multi-pass system utilizes both OCR and vision language models for unmatched accuracy and reliability.

Traditional computer vision

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.

From security to scale, Reducto is built for the demands of production AI.

Enterprise support and SLAs

Hands-on forward deployed support and tailored SLAs to meet your enterprise needs.

Deploy in your environment
