turian vs. ABBYY: What's the best AI OCR solution?

Unlike traditional OCR tools that break every time a layout changes, turian uses LLM-powered AI agents to understand document content, context, and business logic. From the moment a document is detected in your inbox to updating your ERP with extracted data, our AI agents handle document workflows end-to-end.

Where standard OCR tools hit a wall, turian keeps going

Documents without structure

turian agents can process meaning from plain-text emails, scanned handwritten notes, and unformatted attachments, not just machine-readable PDFs with clean layouts

Multiple languages, one model

Handles documents across languages natively. No separate model training or language-specific extraction rules required

Incomplete or ambiguous data

When key fields are missing or unclear, turian flags the gap and autonomously contacts the sender

High-complexity document types

Contracts, multi-page BOQs, mixed-format order packets: turian reads them and understands intent across the full content

Companies we're proud to call customers

One of the best things about the turian solution is that it sits within the Outlook inbox, which was very familiar to our team. The implementation was seamless, and the team was able to pick it up and run with it very quickly.
