DocuOCR is contract data extraction software that reads any contract or compliance document and returns the parties, obligations, key dates, payment terms and KYC fields as structured data. It classifies a mixed batch, extracts the fields you define, routes low-confidence values to review, and exports to your CLM or a spreadsheet through one API. US legal and compliance teams use it to turn contract review and obligation tracking from days of manual reading into minutes.

// The compliance gap

Legal documents pile up. Obligations slip through.

Contract reviews that take hours per document, KYC packs assembled by hand, regulatory submissions that need data re-keyed from scans. The legal and compliance function carries a document-reading burden that slows every deal and every audit.

Days per due-diligence room

Analysts spend the bulk of M&A due-diligence time reading, tagging and summarizing documents, work AI can do in minutes.

Missed renewal windows

Contracts with auto-renewal clauses buried on page 47 expose the business to unwanted commitments. Manual tracking does not scale past a few hundred agreements.

KYC re-work costs

Identity documents reviewed by hand, re-entered into onboarding systems, then re-checked at annual reviews, a cycle that drains compliance headcount.

// With DocuOCR

Obligations, dates and parties extracted in seconds, not days. Every document, every field, with a confidence score and a full audit trail.

KYC and identity documents

Passports, driver licenses, utility bills, articles of incorporation: names, numbers, expiration, MRZ and beneficial-ownership data.

Regulatory filings

Records of processing, FINRA submissions, SEC filings and information requests: structured fields from complex regulatory forms.

Due-diligence data rooms

Bulk processing of thousands of mixed documents across M&A, fundraising or supplier onboarding packs.

Audit evidence packages

Policy documents, control-testing evidence, SOC and ISO artifacts: extract and index them for examiner review.

Redaction and retention

Flag PII, mark sensitive clauses and log every access event for records-management and retention obligations.

DocuOCR handles the broader legal workload too. See the full legal document processing software, the focused contract OCR tool for a single agreement, and how DocuOCR sorts a mixed file with document classification.

// How it works

From document room to obligation register in four steps

No workflow consultants and no rules-engine maintenance. Upload your legal documents and get back structured, reviewable data your team can act on.

01

Ingest

Upload single contracts, bulk zip archives or entire data-room folders. Email forwarding, SharePoint sync and API ingestion are all supported.

02

AI reads and classifies

Models identify the document type, such as an NDA, SLA, lease or regulatory form, then extract every defined field with a confidence score per field.

03

Legal team reviews

Low-confidence fields surface in a review queue. Reviewers confirm, correct or flag, and every decision is logged with a timestamp and user.

04

Push to your systems

Export to Excel, CSV or JSON. Push to your CLM, GRC platform, matter management system or obligation-tracking tool through the API.

Precision extraction across the most complex documents

Legal documents are dense, multi-page and non-standard. DocuOCR is built for exactly this, reading across page breaks, interpreting defined-term cross-references and capturing nested tables of obligations.

If your priority is pulling the commitments out of signed agreements specifically, our dedicated obligation extraction software returns every obligation by type, owner, and deadline, each linked to its source clause, ready for your CLM or obligation register.

Obligation register output
Every duty, deadline and notice requirement extracted and indexed, ready to import into your CLM or task-management system.
Renewal and expiration date tracking
Critical dates flagged in structured output so your contract manager never misses an auto-renewal or option-exercise window.
API-first integration
POST a document, receive structured JSON. Integrate extraction into your internal legal-ops portals and CLM platforms in an afternoon.
Clause-level confidence scores
Each extracted clause and field carries a model-confidence score, directing human review exactly where it is needed and nowhere else.
Bulk due-diligence mode
Process thousands of contracts overnight. Results consolidated into a single, merge-ready dataset with document-level metadata.

Talk to our team

What is contract data extraction software?

Contract data extraction software reads a contract and returns its key terms as structured fields instead of text you have to read. It pulls the parties, effective and expiration dates, renewal and notice periods, payment terms, liability caps, governing law and obligations, then exports them to a spreadsheet, a CLM or your systems through an API, so a contract becomes searchable data rather than a file someone has to open.

What is obligation extraction?

Obligation extraction is the process of finding every duty, deliverable, deadline and notice requirement inside a contract and listing them as structured records. Each obligation is captured with the responsible party, the clause it comes from and the date it is due, so the list can load straight into a CLM or an obligation register your team tracks instead of being buried in the contract text.

Which contract fields does DocuOCR extract?

DocuOCR extracts counterparty names and addresses, effective, start and expiration dates, renewal and termination notice periods, payment terms, liability caps, indemnity clauses, governing law and jurisdiction, confidentiality periods, and obligation lists, across any contract layout with no template to build.

Can it handle scanned or poorly photocopied contracts?

Yes. DocuOCR combines OCR pre-processing with AI to read rotated, deskewed and low-resolution scans. Confidence scores surface the fields that need human review, so your team knows exactly where to spend attention instead of re-keying the whole document.

How does DocuOCR support KYC and AML workflows?

DocuOCR reads passports, driver licenses, utility bills, certificates of incorporation and beneficial-ownership registers, extracting names, document numbers, expiration dates and MRZ data. Results integrate with your onboarding or KYC platform through an API or webhook.

Is document content used to train AI models?

No. Customer documents are never used to retrain or improve DocuOCR models. Documents are processed under strict data-processing isolation and can be automatically purged after extraction completes.

Can I run DocuOCR over a due-diligence data room?

Yes. Bulk ingestion accepts zip archives, SharePoint links or API-pushed batches of thousands of documents. DocuOCR classifies each document type, extracts the relevant fields per type, and consolidates the results into a single exportable dataset with document-level metadata.

What certifications and compliance documentation are available?

DocuOCR holds SOC 2 Type II certification. We provide a Data Processing Agreement, a security questionnaire pack, and a BAA for HIPAA-covered use cases. Contact our team for the full compliance documentation set.
