The idea
Misbah Syed shows a page-by-page PDF workflow that chooses which pages should go through OCR. Pages that can be processed locally follow a separate extraction route.
Inside the decision loop
Page metadata + extracted text signals
Decide whether OCR is needed
Choose the extraction route
What to take from it
A routing layer is useful when the expensive operation is unnecessary for many inputs. Start with deterministic checks, then use semantic judgment only where those checks leave ambiguity.
Jev is not the OCR engine. The demo does not establish accuracy on complex tables, mixed scans, damaged PDFs or every language. Check extracted text quality after either route.
