Document Processing
Document intelligence — far beyond format conversion
Turn Office and PDF files into searchable, operable outputs: conversion, OCR, extraction, and page-async workers billed by the page. Classification, redaction, and human-review queues are part of the product direction — we call out what is still catching up. For storing and sharing sensitive files with people (not machine processing), see Secure Documents.
What you get
Convert, merge, protect
Office/PDF/image conversion plus merge, split, compress, and encrypt — production-grade document ops.
OCR & searchable PDF
Make archives searchable. Extract text, tables, and metadata for DAM, search, and downstream systems.
Privacy & compliance direction
Redaction, PII detection, PDF/A archival, and PDF/UA accessibility are on the processing roadmap — ask us what is live for your tenant.
Human review later
Review queues and e-signature provider hooks are planned operator surfaces, not the first vertical we pretend is already everywhere.
Differentiation
Where SialFlow goes deeper on document processing
- Office / PDF / image conversion
- PDF merge, split, compress, and encrypt
- OCR and searchable PDF
- Thumbnail and preview generation
- Text, table, and metadata extraction
- Page-based quota and billing
- Async page workers for very large documents
- Document classification — expanding
- Redaction and PII detection — expanding
- PDF/A and PDF/UA — expanding
- E-signature provider integration — Planned
- Human-review workflow — Planned
Example
Same auth and tenancy headers as the rest of the API. Where a capability plugs into Flows today, that is called out on the product page — we do not imply every media type shares one live pipeline yet.
