Poor file quality hinders your OCR processes
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) often fails due to incompatible formats, low resolution, or poor image quality. Manually preparing these files is a massive waste of time for your team.
Main negative impacts:
High OCR error rates
Unoptimized files lead to reading errors. Extracted data becomes unusable and requires constant human intervention.
Operational bottlenecks
Manually converting hundreds of PDFs, images, or scanned documents blocks your document workflows and delays processing times.
Lack of standardization
Without automation, every employee prepares documents differently, making global processing inconsistent and difficult to audit.
Swiftask automates document preparation via Api2Convert. The system normalizes, converts, and improves your file quality automatically before the reading stage, ensuring maximum precision.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Without Swiftask
An employee receives a batch of heterogeneous documents. They must open each file, convert it to the right format, adjust resolution, and launch OCR manually. If OCR fails, they must restart the cleaning cycle.
With Swiftask + Api2Convert
As soon as a document is uploaded, Swiftask automatically triggers Api2Convert to normalize the file. The ready-to-use document is immediately processed by the AI agent, with zero human intervention.
Automate your OCR preparation pipeline in 4 steps
1
STEP 1 : Configure your processing agent
Create your agent in Swiftask and define the quality criteria required for your documents.
2
STEP 2 : Integrate Api2Convert
Connect Api2Convert as a conversion skill to transform your source files into OCR-optimized formats.
3
STEP 3 : Define triggers
Automate launch upon receipt of an email, cloud upload, or form submission.
4
STEP 4 : Activate the production flow
Monitor progress and extraction quality from the Swiftask dashboard in real time.
Advanced capabilities of your preparation agent
The agent evaluates initial file quality and selects the best Api2Convert settings to maximize OCR success rates.
- Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in api2convert based on event context.
- Automated actions: Format conversion (PDF, images, etc.). Resolution and contrast adjustment. Layout normalization. Automatic sending to the OCR engine. Error management and alerts for unreadable files.
- Native governance: All transformation steps are tracked to ensure complete transparency regarding the quality of processed data.
Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.
Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-api2convert@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.
Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.
