Process millions of pages, automatically.
OCR, classification, deskew, and split-and-stitch — wired into a single production pipeline. Replace the manual layer, keep the audit trail.
Document Processing Automation
Stop paying people to retype, sort, and clean scans by hand. We automate OCR, classification, deskew, and splitting, so teams see time and cost drop by 80% or more.
OCR
Turns any scan, photo, or handwritten note into searchable text.
Classification & Categorization
Sorts mixed batches into the right buckets by type and content.
Deskew & Rotate
Straightens crooked scans and rotates flipped pages.
Split & Stitch
Finds where one document ends and the next begins, then splits or stitches as needed.
Batch Processing
Runs millions of pages through the hardware you already own.
average reduction in time and cost across document workflows we've delivered.
Document Processing Automation that scales to millions of pages
Most teams still pay people to retype scans, sort mixed batches by hand, and clean up crooked or flipped pages before anything useful can happen. That's a tax on every downstream workflow — invoicing, claims, onboarding, records — and it caps how fast your business can move.
Sparkfire's document processing pipeline replaces that manual layer with production-grade OCR, classification, deskew, and split-and-stitch logic running on the hardware you already own. Teams typically see time-to-process and cost drop by 80% or more in the first quarter, with accuracy that beats human re-keying.
Every messy-document problem, solved as one pipeline
Five capabilities, wired together as a single versioned pipeline with observability and replay built in. Mix and match per workflow.
OCR that survives the real world
Scans, phone photos, faxes, handwritten margins, low-contrast carbon copies. Our recognizers were trained on the kind of documents that actually arrive — not the clean PDFs in the demo deck.
- Print, handwritten, and mixed-script support
- 60+ languages out of the box; more on request
- Per-field confidence scores you can act on
- Works on PDFs, images, and live image streams
Classification and routing
Mixed inbound batches get sorted by document type and content the moment they arrive. Each page is tagged, scored, and routed to the right queue or downstream system without a human touching it.
- Per-page and per-document classification
- Routing rules with confidence thresholds
- Custom labels trained on your taxonomy
- Audit trail on every routing decision
Deskew, rotate, and clean
Crooked scans, flipped pages, scanner streaks, and shadow artifacts get fixed before any downstream model sees them. The cleaner the input, the better everything that follows performs.
- Automatic rotation and skew correction
- Denoise, despeckle, and shadow removal
- Color and contrast normalization
- Original image preserved for audit
Split and stitch
Multi-doc PDFs and stitched scans get cleanly separated; documents fragmented across files get rejoined. No more manual page-counting or downstream code guessing where one form ends and the next begins.
- Content-based document boundary detection
- Cross-file stitching with provenance
- Configurable per document family
- Handles staple shadows and edge bleed
Confidence scoring + human review
Every extracted field comes with a confidence score. Pages above your threshold flow straight through; the rest land in a review queue with the original image and the extraction side-by-side for seconds-long human resolution.
- Per-field and per-document confidence scores
- Configurable thresholds per workflow
- Reviewer feedback fed back into the model
- Full audit log of every override

From scoping call to live system
Map the document flow
We sit with the team that owns the workflow, trace every doc type and edge case, and define the accuracy bar that has to hold in production.
Build the pipeline
OCR, classification, deskew, split — wired together as a versioned pipeline with observability and replay built in from day one.
Pilot on real volume
We run a live shadow against your current process, compare outputs, and tune thresholds against your actual documents — not a demo set.
Cut over and operate
Phased rollout with rollback. We monitor drift, retrain on new patterns, and own SLAs while your team owns the outcomes.
Real use cases, real outcomes
Insurance claims intake
Mixed PDF claim packages split, classified, and routed to adjusters with extracted fields pre-populated.
Records digitization
Decades of paper files turned into searchable archives, indexed by type, date, and key entities.
Invoice & PO automation
Vendor invoices parsed, matched against POs, and queued for approval with line-item accuracy.
Banking KYC onboarding
IDs, proof-of-address, and signatory documents extracted, verified, and pushed into core systems before the applicant finishes their coffee.
Public-records digitization
Decade-scale archives of permits, deeds, and case files turned into structured, searchable data with full chain-of-custody logs.
