The system extracts the following fields from invoices:
- Company Name
- GST Number (15 digits)
- PAN Number (10 characters)
- FSSAI Number (14 digits)
- Address
- Phone Number
- Invoice Number
- Invoice Date (DD/MM/YYYY format)
- Due Date (if available)
- Goods Description
- HSN/SAC Code (4-8 digits)
- Quantity
- Weight (with automatic unit conversion to kg)
- Rate (per unit)
- Amount
- Tax Rate
- Tax Amount
- Subtotal
- Total Tax (CGST, SGST, IGST)
- Discount (if applicable)
- Grand Total
Automatically adjusts preprocessing based on document quality:
# Quality assessment triggers different preprocessing
# High quality (>0.8): Minimal preprocessing
# Medium quality (0.5-0.8): Standard enhancement
# Low quality (<0.5): Aggressive enhancement + TrOCRCombines multiple OCR engines for improved accuracy:

api_key="your-key",
config={
'ocr': {
'ensemble_enabled': True,
'engines': ['tesseract', 'doctr'],
'voting_strategy': 'weighted'
}
}
)Uses Graph Neural Networks to understand document structure:
# Enable graph-based reasoning
config = {
'graph': {
'enabled': True,
'gnn_reasoning': True
}
}Combines visual, textual, and layout features:
# Enable multimodal processing
config = {
'multimodal': {
'enabled': True,
'fusion': {
'method': 'attention'
}
}
}Combines LLM with rule-based extraction:
# Use hybrid extraction

'fallback_to_rules': True,
'confidence_threshold': 0.8
}

1. "Tesseract not found"
# Windows: Add to PATH
setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR"
# Verify installation
tesseract --version2. "Module not found" errors
# Reinstall dependencies
pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt3. "API key invalid"
- Verify your Gemini API key at https://makersuite.google.com/app/apikey
- Check for extra spaces or characters
- Ensure key has proper permissions
4. Low extraction accuracy
- Enable preprocessing in configuration
- Try ensemble OCR mode
- Increase image DPI (300+ recommended)
- Enable advanced features
5. "Memory error" during processing
- Reduce batch size
- Process fewer files at once
- Close other applications
- Increase system RAM
6. Slow processing
- Enable GPU acceleration (if available)
- Disable advanced features
- Use faster OCR engine (Tesseract)
- Process files in smaller batches
Enable debug logging:
