What problem does it solve?

Convert rendered non-plain-text files into temporary screenshots and answer the user's requests from the visible content, ensuring you rely on visual evidence rather than unreliable text extraction.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create a dedicated temporary screenshot workspace and render only the necessary pages or regions.
  • Inspect screenshots as images to derive answers, summaries, or field lookups from what is visually shown.
  • Clean up temporary artifacts automatically after the answer is prepared, unless the user asks to keep them.

Quick Start

Use document-vision-reader to inspect a non-plain-text file by capturing its rendered pages as screenshots and answering from the visible content.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract data from a scanned PDF or PPTX when text extraction fails?

Extract data from a scanned PDF or PPTX by converting rendered pages into temporary screenshots and deriving answers from the visual content. This visual reading approach ensures you rely on visible evidence rather than unreliable text extraction.

Can I read specific regions of a rendered document instead of the whole file?

Yes, you can read specific regions of a rendered document. The visual-first workflow creates a deterministic temporary workspace to capture only the required pages or regions, ensuring targeted evidence extraction from your files.

What file formats work with visual reading for evidence extraction?

Visual reading for evidence extraction works with PDFs, PPT/PPTX decks, scanned documents, forms, and spreadsheets. It processes rendered non-plain-text files where the visual appearance matters for accurate data retrieval.

Does document-vision-reader leave temporary screenshot artifacts on my system?

No, document-vision-reader does not leave temporary screenshot artifacts. It automatically cleans up temporary artifacts from the deterministic workspace after preparing your answer, unless you explicitly ask to keep them.

When should I use a visual-first workflow over plain text extraction for forms?

Use a visual-first workflow over plain text extraction for forms when the rendered appearance matters. Converting files to screenshots ensures accurate field lookups and summaries from what is visually shown, bypassing unreliable text extraction.

What is the best way to answer queries from rendered spreadsheet content?

The best way to answer queries from rendered spreadsheet content is converting the file to temporary screenshots and inspecting the images. This visual reading method derives accurate answers directly from the visible layout and formatting.
