Trusted by teams turning documents into production data
Amazon Textract returns raw OCR output. You build the validation, schema enforcement, audit trails, and document-type configurations yourself. Sensible includes all of it.
Validation and audit trails included
Schema enforcement on every field plus full provenance back to source coordinates; Textract returns raw OCR output and leaves validation to your team
150+ document types ready
Pre-built configs for invoices, bank statements, ACORD forms, loan estimates, and more; Textract gives you OCR primitives and AnalyzeDocument, not document-specific extraction
Config as code, not pipeline assembly
SenseML configs version-controlled and CI/CD ready; with Textract you're stitching together Lambda, S3, and downstream services into a custom pipeline
Per-document pricing
A 50-page packet costs the same as a single page; Textract bills per page processed
Hybrid extraction, not OCR alone
LLM parsing for layout flexibility plus deterministic rules for predictability; Textract is primarily OCR with AnalyzeDocument extensions

Trusted by teams turning documents into production data
Amazon Textract is an AWS service for extracting text, forms, and tables from documents. It is a building block — useful, well-priced, but it stops at OCR plus structural detection. Document-type configurations, schema validation, confidence routing, and audit trails are all DIY. Sensible includes those as platform capabilities: validated JSON output, per-field provenance, and pre-built configs for the document types most teams need.
Textract
Why it matters
What you get
Validated JSON output for 150+ document types
OCR text, forms, tables, and a handful of analyze-document primitives (invoice, ID, expense)
Sensible is a finished extraction service; Textract is a primitive you assemble around
Pre-built support
150+ pre-built configs, production-ready
Pre-trained models for invoices, receipts, IDs, and expense docs
Sensible covers a much wider library of business-document types out of the box
Schema enforcement
Output validated against your schema on every extraction
Returns extracted fields without schema-level validation
Catch errors at extraction time instead of in your database
Audit trail
Full provenance — every field traced to source coordinates
Returns bounding boxes per token but no field-level traceability
Auditors and reviewers can see exactly why each extracted value is in the output
Confidence signals
Per-field confidence scores with automatic flagging for review
Per-token confidence scores in raw output
Route uncertain extractions to human review without building your own scoring logic
Pricing model
Per-document, regardless of page count
Per-page, with additional charges for analyze-document features
A 50-page packet costs the same as a one-page extract; budget without surprise overages
Configuration
SenseML configs version-controlled and CI/CD ready
Adapters and Custom Queries trained via the AWS console
Treat extraction as code, not as console-trained model artifacts
Document complexity
Multi-page, multi-table, nested fields, 1,000+ page documents
Strong on standard forms and tables; complex layouts require custom orchestration
Sensible handles the documents that break primitive OCR plus table-detection
Services & support
Full-service option — expert team builds, deploys, and maintains your configurations
AWS support tiers and Solution Architect engagements
Outsource extraction operations entirely, or get expert help to ship faster
Integration
REST API, webhooks, Python and Node SDKs
AWS SDK, S3 triggers, Lambda integration
Both API-first; Sensible's integration footprint is independent of any cloud provider
Lock-in
Cloud-agnostic — extract from anywhere, deliver anywhere
Tightly coupled to AWS account and region
Avoid binding document extraction to a specific cloud vendor
