docext is an on-premises document intelligence toolkit powered by vision-language models, offering OCR-free structured data extraction, PDF/image-to-markdown conversion, and a benchmarking leaderboard for document processing tasks. It is a Python library (pip-installable) from NanoNets that also ships the Nanonets-OCR-s model for image-to-markdown conversion.

Use cases

  • extract structured fields from invoices and passports without OCR
  • convert PDFs and scanned images to markdown with tables and LaTeX equations
  • detect signatures and watermarks in documents
  • benchmark vision-language models on document extraction tasks
  • run document data extraction fully on-premises for privacy
  • extract tables from unstructured documents with confidence scores

When to choose

  • you need on-premises/private document extraction without sending data to cloud APIs
  • you want OCR-free structured extraction using vision-language models
  • you need PDF/image to markdown conversion with semantic tagging
  • you want to benchmark VLMs on IDP tasks like KIE and table extraction

When to avoid

  • you need a lightweight traditional OCR engine like Tesseract
  • you lack GPU resources for running vision-language models
  • you only need simple text extraction from digital PDFs
  • you need a managed cloud service with SLAs
