Perfectly put!
Other challenges are:
1. Complex layout tables, tables that span multiple pages
2. Handwritten text - in loan processing and income tax documents
3. Checkboxes and radio buttons are so important in insurance and loan processing to automate workflows.
4. Scanned images
5. Photographed documents from the field.
6. Orientation - landscape mode vs. Portrait mode
7. Text represented as a Bezier curve
8. Non-aligned texts in multicolumn text layout
9. Background images and watermarks
Other important considerations:
1. Privacy and security - cloud vs. On-premise
2. Performance and speed of extraction at scale
3. If you are ultimately feeding to LLMs to intelligence then how does the extractor help in reducing tokens
