The whole OCR pipeline in one API call.

One API call does OCR, classification and translation, and returns structured JSON. Every response also includes the OCR underneath, with bounding boxes and a confidence score for each word.

The same extraction in Interfaze and Reducto, side by side. Your existing schema works as is. Or let your coding agent make the switch.

## Interfaze vs Reducto: common questions

What people usually ask before switching from Reducto.

Interfaze vs Reducto: what's the difference?

Reducto is a document parser. Parsing, extraction and classification are separate endpoints, and audio or translation need another service. Interfaze is a general-purpose model: one call does OCR, classification and translation and returns structured JSON, for documents, images, audio and video.

Will accuracy drop if I switch?

Try your own documents on both first. The side-by-side and benchmarks above show where each API gets fields right and wrong on the same pages, checked by hand. Every Interfaze response also includes a confidence score for each word, so you can send uncertain values to review from day one.

How much code do I need to change?

A few lines per call. Point the OpenAI SDK or Vercel AI SDK at Interfaze, send the PDF as a file and pass the same JSON schema you use with Reducto Extract. You can delete the upload and job-polling code.

Can I self-host?

Yes. interfaze-1.1-lite has open weights and runs on a single 80 GB GPU (compute capability 8.9 or newer, like an H100).

What about security and data retention?

Turn on zero data retention for any request with one header, on every plan. SOC 2 and HIPAA agreements are available on request.

Can Interfaze handle audio and video too?

Yes. Speech-to-text with timestamps and speaker labels for up to 50 speakers, plus video input on interfaze-1. Reducto's docs list no audio or video formats.
