Systems and methods for automated end-to-end text extraction of electronic documents

A system for extracting data from electronic documents using non-optical character recognition (OCR) based text extraction and OCR, the system comprising a server computing device communicatively coupled to a database over a network, the server computing device having a memory for storing computer-executable instructions and a processor that executes the computer-executable instructions to:

• initiate non-OCR based text extraction for each of a plurality of pages of an electronic document;
• determine an amount of pages of the plurality of pages comprising at least one image;
• receive a runtime exception during non-OCR based text extraction or determine that the amount of pages exceeds a first threshold;
• initiate optical character recognition for each of the plurality of pages of the electronic document;
• determine an image coverage percentage for each of the plurality of pages of the electronic document;
• determine that the image coverage percentage exceeds a second threshold for a page of the plurality of pages of the electronic document;
• initiate optical character recognition for the page of the plurality of pages of the electronic document;
• calculate an accuracy of the non-OCR based text extraction performed for each of the plurality of pages of the electronic document;
• determine that the accuracy of the non-OCR based text extraction is less than a third threshold for a page of the plurality of pages of the electronic document;
• initiate optical character recognition for the page of the plurality of pages of the electronic document;
• and
• combine first text extracted from the electronic document using non-OCR based text extraction and second text extracted from the electronic document using optical character recognition.

A computerized method for extracting data from electronic documents using non-optical character recognition (OCR) based text extraction and OCR, the method comprising:

• initiating, by a server computing device, non-OCR based text extraction for each of a plurality of pages of an electronic document;
• determining, by the server computing device, an amount of pages of the plurality of pages comprising at least one image;
• receiving, by the server computing device, a runtime exception during non-OCR based text extraction or determining, by the server computing device, that the amount of pages exceeds a first threshold;
• initiating, by the server computing device, optical character recognition for each of the plurality of pages of the electronic document;
• determining, by the server computing device, an image coverage percentage for each of the plurality of pages of the electronic document;
• determining, by the server computing device, that the image coverage percentage exceeds a second threshold for a page of the plurality of pages of the electronic document;
• initiating, by the server computing device, optical character recognition for the page of the plurality of pages of the electronic document;
• calculating, by the server computing device, an accuracy of the non-OCR based text extraction performed for each of the plurality of pages of the electronic document;
• determining, by the server computing device, that the accuracy of the non-OCR based text extraction is less than a third threshold for a page of the plurality of pages of the electronic document;
• initiating, by the server computing device, optical character recognition for the page of the plurality of pages of the electronic document;
• and
• combining, by the server computing device, first text extracted from the electronic document using non-OCR based text extraction and second text extracted from the electronic document using optical character recognition.
