Summary

  • AI start-up Mistral has launched Mistral OCR, an API that provides advanced document understanding capabilities including the extraction of handwritten text, typed text, images, tables and equations from unstructured data.
  • The API extracts this content and transforms it into a structured format, ready for search and analysis.
  • By contrast, unstructured data lacks a specific format or structure, making it more challenging to process and analyse.
  • Mistral OCR is designed to help organisations enhance document processing and analysis and make documentation suitable for AI applications.
  • It already integrated into Le Chat, used by millions of users for document processing, and is available to developers via Mistral’s developer suite.
  • It also will be offered through cloud and inference partners.
