Connotate announced added capabilities for extracting data from unstructured flat-file documents by transforming them into higher-value structured content with style information and metadata. Firms in many industries have been searching for a way to automate data extraction and do it with precision. For example, PDF files are widely used in financial reporting and countless hours are spent manually extracting tables and commentary to repurpose documents for new uses.

Connotate’s unique solution precisely analyzes input from files in PDF, HTML, RTF, OCR and other formats, transforming it into an easy to manage output with style information and metadata. This enables organizations to process and analyze higher volumes of data, thereby reducing costs and increasing productivity. Use cases include: Finance, magazines, newspapers, scientific journals, legal documents, government, aerospace and defense technical documentation.
