How It Works

Upload an image or provide a URL to the Mixpeek API.

The image is preprocessed with deskew, binarization, and contrast enhancement.

Layout analysis detects columns, paragraphs, headers, and reading order.

OCR extracts character-level text with confidence scores per word.

Structured, search-ready text is returned with preserved reading order and optional positional metadata.

Code Examples

from mixpeek import Mixpeek

client = Mixpeek(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

result = client.convert(
    source="https://example.com/scanned-contract.png",
    from_format="image",
    to_format="searchable-text",
    options={
        "deskew": True,
        "preserve_layout": True,
        "language_hint": "en",
        "output_format": "structured"
    }
)

for block in result.text_blocks:
    print(f"[{block.type}] {block.text}")
print(f"Full text: {result.full_text}")
