Unlock a Wealth of Data in Hotel Folios

What is Hotel Folios OCR API?
Hotel Folios OCR API is an API (Application Programming Interface) that turns your hotel bills into structured data in seconds using AI. You can send hotel folios to the API in any format (pdf, image, etc) and receive the response in a structured (key/value) JSON irrespective of folio format or hotel chain. Veryfi’s AI runs proprietary foundational models trained on millions of hotel bills so it can understand all possible line items (see supported fields) on your folio including room charges, room service, parking, and incidentals across different properties worldwide.

What is Hotel Folios OCR?
Hotel Folios OCR (optical character recognition or optical character reader) is the electronic or mechanical conversion of hotel bill images, paper folios, and printed text into machine-encoded text using software. This work traditionally required manual expense report review but that was inefficient and prone to policy violations. Veryfi Hotel Folios OCR API will also return the OCR text in every JSON response for you to further customize the application of this data in your application for various purposes like automated expense management, policy enforcement at the line-item level, per diem calculations, corporate card reconciliation, and travel spend analytics.
