Transform PDF documents into AI-ready data

Kensho Extract turns unstructured financial PDFs into machine-readable data, accurately interpreting complex page layouts so your downstream AI applications get clean, reliable inputs.


■  Key use cases

High-fidelity data extraction at enterprise scale

01

PDF data extraction

Extract text, tables, and figures with high numerical accuracy–including complex visualizations like charts, graphs, and scatter plots–to streamline database updates and financial analysis.

Containerized on-premises workflows

02

Deploy on premises into client-side workflows with a containerized solution that extracts structured information from local documents without relying on the external API.

03

Generative AI workflows

Transform unstructured document insights into AI-ready intelligence for more reliable LLM interactions, powering Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems and Key-Value Pair (KVP) workflows.

04

Natural language processing (NLP)

Feed pre-processed, language-agnostic document data directly into your own NLP models, improving model performance without the need for manual data extraction and structuring.



■  Key use cases

Precision mapping for your messiest data

Advanced entity search

01

Locate company names, addresses, and countries to quickly retrieve identifiers and metadata, with a link score to quantify the match strength.

Data cleaning and enrichment

02

Match entities to unique S&P Global IDs to uncover duplicates and inconsistencies in your CRM or database, improving overall data management.

Data synchronization

03

Easily integrate new information into company databases, including entity coverage across 70 million public and private companies in S&P Capital IQ Pro and Business Entity Cross Reference Service (BECRS) databases.

Agentic workflows

04

Fuel generative AI and agentic workflows with world-class S&P Global data, enhancing retrieval accuracy for complex entities like stock tickers, funds, and indexes.

Transcribe business and financial audio

Kensho Scribe is voice-to-text transcription built for financial audio trained on domain-specific data to handle varied audio quality, accents, and industry jargon with accuracy.


■  Key use cases

Highly accurate transcription built on 100,000 hours of S&P Global domain expertise

Financial transcription

01

Convert earnings calls, investor presentations, and meeting recordings into machine-readable text to eliminate hours of manual listening and transcription work.

Workflow automation

02

Replace slow, manual documentation with accurate transcription you can trust processed at sub-second speeds.

Cross-industry data discovery

03

Empower legal, medical, and academic organizations to search and analyze vast audio archives with accurate, industry-specific context.

Secure and compliant documentation

04

Process sensitive expert network interviews and confidential medical or legal calls through professional, in-house HITL reviewers trained to handle specialized vocabulary with discretion.

Map textual data to structured knowledge bases

Kensho NERD (Named Entity Recognition and Disambiguation) automatically identifies and links entities like companies, people, and events to S&P Global datasets, transforming unstructured text into actionable intelligence at enterprise scale.


■  Key use cases

Bridge the gap between unstructured text and contextual knowledge bases

Content filtering

01

Improve search results, content recommendations, document filtering, and more with targeted search linking every company, person, and location to their underlying profiles.

Accelerated model development

02

Annotate thousands of words in seconds to automate data labeling and analysis, transforming raw text into enriched JSON backed by trusted S&P Global data.

Competitive intelligence and trend mapping

03

Enhance research and analysis, uncover hidden market signals, or identify operational efficiencies and potential revenue streams using actionable business intelligence from millions of unstructured files.

Intelligent entity redaction

04

Identify and isolate sensitive information within complex documents before distribution to protect enterprise integrity. Data is only stored temporarily.
