Frequently Asked Questions

Can this process HUD-1 settlement statements and Closing Disclosures?

Yes, the AI can extract data from standard closing forms including HUD-1 statements and TRID Closing Disclosures, identifying fields like loan amounts, closing costs, and property details.

How accurate is the extraction for financial figures in closing documents?

The system achieves 99%+ accuracy on clear, well-scanned documents. Financial figures are typically extracted reliably, but we recommend reviewing extracted loan amounts and closing costs before final processing.

Can it handle scanned signatures and handwritten amendments on contracts?

While the system can process documents with signatures, handwritten text recognition is limited. Typed contract terms extract reliably, but handwritten amendments may need manual entry.

Is there a way to process multiple closing files from different transactions at once?

Yes, the batch processing feature allows you to upload multiple closing document sets simultaneously, with each transaction's data exported to separate rows in your Excel output.
