Document Intelligence · Quality
Catch a bad scan before it wastes an OCR or verification call — check blur, glare, cropping and resolution in milliseconds.
Overview
What the Document Quality Check API does
FinHub's Document Quality Check API scores an uploaded document image for the conditions that break downstream OCR and verification — blur, glare, poor lighting, cropped edges and low resolution — and returns a pass/fail signal with per-issue detail. Teams place it as a gate in front of any capture flow, with consent capture and a tamper-evident audit log on every call.
Inputs
- Document image (PDF or photo)
- Expected document type
