Compare Amazon Textract vs. Unsiloed

Amazon Textract is a sophisticated, fully managed machine learning service that goes beyond basic optical character recognition (OCR) to automatically extract text and data from scanned documents, including forms and tables. In today's fast-paced business environment, many organizations rely on either time-consuming manual data entry, which is both costly and error-prone, or on basic OCR software that requires frequent manual adjustments whenever forms are updated. To eliminate these cumbersome processes, Textract leverages advanced machine learning techniques to swiftly read and analyze various document types, delivering precise extraction of text, forms, tables, and additional data without necessitating any manual input or custom programming. By using Textract, businesses can streamline and automate their document processing tasks, allowing them to handle millions of pages in just a matter of hours, significantly enhancing operational efficiency. This shift not only saves time but also reduces the likelihood of human error, paving the way for more accurate and reliable data handling.

Unsiloed AI is an enterprise document intelligence platform built to transform unstructured documents into structured, LLM-ready data. The platform processes PDFs, images, spreadsheets, scans, and multimodal files, then outputs clean JSON, Markdown, or structured fields for AI agents, LLM applications, vector databases, and data warehouses. Its core capabilities include parsing, extraction, and document splitting, allowing teams to use each function independently or chain them into a full production pipeline. Unsiloed’s parser converts complex documents into Markdown while preserving structure across text, tables, charts, figures, forms, handwriting, signatures, and visual hierarchy. Its extraction engine pulls schema-specific fields into JSON and uses domain awareness to understand documents such as invoices, contracts, financial reports, healthcare records, and regulatory filings. Its splitting tools can separate mixed files into individual documents or break long documents into retrievable chunks while preserving parent-child relationships and surrounding context. The platform is powered by proprietary dual-stream vision models that combine a data stream for tokens and entities with a layout stream for bounding boxes, alignment, indentation, and visual structure. Unsiloed is designed to solve the problem of fragile OCR and DIY pipelines that break when document layouts change. For enterprise AI teams, Unsiloed provides a more reliable document layer for turning high-value unstructured data into assets that can be searched, reasoned over, and used in production AI systems.
