About PDFs, images, audio and video
Some data only exists as documents: supplier invoices, bank statements, printed reports, call recordings.
clariBI extracts text with the tesseract and easyocr OCR engines and can also read pages with a vision model, which helps with tables in scanned PDFs.
What clariBI extracts
The extracted text and any tables become a data source you can search, chart and use in reports.
Tables in clean PDFs come out best. Handwriting and low-resolution scans are read less reliably, so check the extracted rows before relying on totals.
How to connect PDFs, images, audio and video
Upload the file
In clariBI, open Data Sources > Add Data Source > File upload and drop the PDF, image, audio or video file.
Wait for processing
OCR and transcription run in the background. Long recordings and large PDFs take longer.
Review and use it
Check the extracted text and tables, then chart them or ask questions on the trial and on Starter and above.
Questions you can ask
Asking in plain English uses AI credits, so it needs the trial or a Starter, Professional or Enterprise plan. Totals and trends are computed from the synced rows; the AI plans the question, picks the chart and writes the explanation.
- "What is the total of the invoices uploaded this month, by supplier?"
- "Which topics came up most in these call recordings?"
