CORE HR: Document parser for identity documents

Say goodbye to manual data entry for identity documents. The new Document Parser add-on in Keka uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to automatically extract key details from employee documents-reducing manual work, improving accuracy, and streamlining HR onboarding workflows.

What’s new?

The Document Parser is now available as an add-on feature, enabling automated data extraction from supported identity documents. It’s built specifically for companies that manage high volumes of employee documents and need faster, error-free processing.

Key features:

• Scope: Currently supports employee identity documents only
• Language Support: English supported; Arabic support 
• Automation: Extracts structured data from documents like passports, visas, Aadhar cards, and more
• Coverage: Supports identity documents from India, US, and GCC countries (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain)

Why it matters

• Reduce manual effort: No need for repetitive data entry during onboarding
• Minimize errors: Fewer mistakes compared to manual typing
• Boost efficiency: HR teams can focus on strategic work instead of scanning documents

Who can use it?

This feature is available as a paid add-on and can be enabled via the Keka admin portal. It is ideal for organizations with high hiring volumes or multi-country operations.
