Document extraction

Recorded documents in.Plant-ready records out.

TitleTools prepares every image, reads every word, extracts every title field, checks its own work, formats it to your plant's rules, and delivers it straight into your plant. No keying backlog.

Send us your documents

Start where your plant needs help.

Go-forward posting

Every day's recordings, extracted, checked and posted. Run it fully automated or as a first pass in front of your keyers.

Gap fill

Missing years? Missing document types? We fill them from the county images and post them under your rules, so they match what's already in your plant.

Full plant builds

Starting a county from scratch? We process the full back-file with the same engine and build the plant from the ground up.

Six steps from county image to your plant.

How TitleTools reads a deed (2 min)
  • Rotation fixed
  • Deskewed
  • Scan cleaned
  • 2 pages to 1 document

01

Prepare

We fix rotation, deskew, clean the scan, and staple loose pages into complete documents.

0 words mapped

02

Word mapping

Every word on every page gets a position and a box. Not just title-specific language. Every word.

03

Extraction

Our extraction is trained on millions of title documents. It knows each document type and the structures that belong to it: legal descriptions, subdivisions, abstracts and surveys. Grantors and grantees. Dates, consideration, and addresses. Every value ties back to the page.

Every read gets a rating and a comment. Weak scans go back for another pass, and a separate QC agent verifies every value.

Full plant builds versus traditional keying.

The rest of the toolkit.

Extraction is one part of the plant. The same system reads the old books, indexes tract books, and builds rules from plats.

Handwritten and historic documents

TitleTools reads handwritten documents back to patent, cursive included. Every word is boxed on the page, and the grantor, grantee, date, and legal come off as real fields.

Tract book indexing

We index tract books the way a plant uses them. Each entry is read, tied to the tract, and posted with the same rules as a recorded instrument.

Plat builder

The plat builder turns a scanned plat into land validation rules. Lot, block, and subdivision become checks the plant can run against every legal.

Your keying conventions. Applied after extraction. Rerun any time.

Human keyers format data as they type it. We format it after full extraction, using your plant's posting rules and your county's specs. Need a change? Update the rule and rerun it on the same extracted documents, as many times as you want, at no additional cost.

Into your plant, or into your hands.

Images can arrive the way your county already sends them. We keep our own working copy, so a retry or a moved file at the source does not break the batch.

  • County recorder feed
  • SFTP
  • Cloud bucket
  • Watch folder
  • Company drop folder, with browser upload or an emailed link
  • A shipped drive for a large back-file

PropertySync review batch

Records land for your team to check. When you are ready, they save into the plant. A review batch sent by mistake can be pulled back.

Straight to plant

The same PropertySync path, saving into the plant when your policy says the batch is clear.

TitleSearch

Industry-standard transmission, ready for pickup.

JSON

The full extracted record for every document.

File pickup

Pipe-delimited transmissions, custom field layouts, or a ZIP. Images and the index travel together as one multi-page TIFF per instrument.

Existing plant land is preserved when an instrument is already posted. For PropertySync customers, delivery lands in a review batch.

Full automation, or a first pass in front of your keyers.

Full automation

County source to plant. Records above your bar deliver, and exceptions hold for review.

First pass for keyers

Your team opens records with type, parties, dates, recording data, and legals already filled in. They verify and correct instead of typing. Every correction is kept next to the original read.

Audit

If someone asks about a posted record, you can answer.

  • The stored read is never overwritten. Rules project it, and every rule version is kept.
  • Overrides carry who and when.
  • Re-delivering the same batch under the same rule version produces the same record.
  • Posting-rules packet for your QA team: the rules in plain language, per instrument type.

Legal descriptions and the land base

Every legal, checked against a real land base.

Indexing a document is half the job. The other half is tying its legal description to the county's additions, abstracts, and surveys. The pipeline builds that land base, checks every posted legal against it, and recovers the legals that would otherwise be left blank.

A curated land base

Platted additions, Texas abstracts and surveys, and the section, township, and range grid. Harvested from the recorded documents and cleared by a person. Subdivision, abstract, and acreage are first-class fields.

Legals recovered

When a document only cites an earlier instrument, the pipeline follows the reference or the party chain, inherits the legal with a confidence score, and holds uncertain ones for review.

A locate report with every batch

Each legal comes back matched, resolved from a reference, or marked for a person.

New plants from the documents

Vocabulary and the land base come from the recorded documents themselves, for a backplant or a full county back-file.

Trust

No black-box deliveries.

If your plant or your customer raises a question about a posted document, you can answer it.

The same audit trail

Author, timestamp, confidence, and the original suggestion stay on the record.

Reproducible transmissions

The same source batch and the same pipeline version produce the same file, bit for bit.

Your confidence bar

You set it per county and per document type. Records under the bar hold for a person.
