dictocopy

How it works

Four stages. Any document in, perfectly formatted output out.

01Pre-processing
02Text extraction
03Layout reconstruction
04Output generation

The pipeline

01

Pre-processing

When you upload a file, DictoCopy runs an instant pre-processing pass. Images are de-skewed, contrast is enhanced, and artifacts are reduced to ensure the highest possible fidelity before extraction.

02

Text extraction

Our OCR engine maps the document topology at sub-pixel level. It reads handwritten notes, recognizes nested tables, and maps bounding boxes for every character and structural element on the page.

03

Layout reconstruction

This is where standard tools fail. A layout-aware language model understands the contextual intent of the document structure distinguishing headers from footnotes, columns from sidebars and rebuilds the semantic layout natively.

04

Output generation

The reconstructed structure is compiled into an editable format. Whether creating a dicto type or applying a translation, the final DOCX or PDF is visually identical to the source document.

What makes this different

Most OCR tools read text. DictoCopy reads documents.

Layout-aware, not just text-aware

Most OCR reads text linearly. Our engine understands the visual structure: columns, sidebars, nested tables, and margins are all mapped before extraction.

Handles what others can't

Handwriting, blurry scans, faded ink, and multilingual text on the same page are processed cleanly instead of producing garbled output.

Translation built in

Translate into 100+ languages during processing. The translated output maintains the same layout, no manual reformatting.
