That’s right, no matter the length — whether it’s a 5-page report or a 100-page document — Dex delivers with the same accuracy.

Dex also has the incredible ability to enrich your data. Dex taps into an extensive knowledge base to fill in the gaps from source document or even generate new information. It’s like having a detective who can also be a magician, ensuring your data is not just complete but also comprehensive and useful.

5. Limitations of Dex & Next Steps for vishwa.ai team

Since our private beta in March, Dex has made giant strides and is now generally available. While Dex can brilliantly read scanned images or snapshots taken from phone cameras to interpret standardized data, it does have its kryptonite. Dex struggles with very low-resolution images. To ensure the best results, we recommend using the images that are atleast clear enough to be humanly readable.

In very rare instances, if the context of the input file is too complex or unclear, Dex might miss a few data points or face challenges in enhancing the content. However, we’ve added a new feature called “Custom Instruction” to tackle this. By providing simple instructions that give context to the file, Dex becomes much more adept at understanding and processing the data.

To date, when the context is clear or when the custom instruction is clear, there hasn’t been a scenario where Dex has failed to extract data.

Our team is passionately working on pushing these boundaries further, enhancing Dex to be more accurate and versatile than ever.
