How the API Works

From cheque upload to structured output in four steps.

01
Upload Cheque
Submit a user-provided cheque image or PDF document through a secure API request.
02
Process Text & MICR
The OCR workflow processes the uploaded cheque and identifies relevant text and MICR regions.
03
Extract & Normalize
Structured cheque fields are extracted, normalized, and prepared for use.
04
Return Cheque Data
A response is returned with cheque data ready for banking, payment, lending, or operations workflows.

Deepvue provides OCR infrastructure for extracting structured outputs and does not independently source banking data or verify cheque authenticity through this workflow.
