Meet the Extractor: Turn Your Own Messy Files Into Structured Records
The Extractor is DodoForm's second way in. Paste emails, drop resumes, upload receipts or voice notes — and pull verified, structured data onto your schema with per-field confidence and a review queue.
Forms aren't the only way data arrives
Forms are great when someone else fills them in. But a lot of the data you need is already sitting in your own inbox: candidate emails, client briefs, vendor PDFs, receipts, voice memos, meeting notes. You don't need to send those people a form — you need to structure what you already have.
That's the Extractor: DodoForm's second way in. Same schema, same verified output, no form required.
How it works
- Pick or define a schema — the exact fields you want, like name, budget, timeline, and must-haves.
- Drop in your mess — paste text, or upload files: documents, images, PDFs, even audio.
- Get structured records — the Extractor maps the content onto your schema, scores each field's confidence, and flags anything uncertain.
A messy resume becomes a clean candidate profile in seconds. A forwarded client email becomes a structured brief. A photographed receipt becomes line items.
Every input type, handled
The Extractor processes all four input types end to end:
Images, audio, and PDFs are read natively by the multimodal model, so you're not bolting on a separate OCR or transcription step.
Verified, not guessed
The Extractor uses the same trust loop as the rest of DodoForm. Every field traces back to an exact snippet in your source — if the snippet isn't there, the value is dropped rather than invented. Each field gets a confidence score, and anything below your threshold lands in a review queue for a one-click fix. Your corrections are fed back as guidance, so accuracy compounds over time.
Free gets a taste
The Extractor is the single best "aha" in the product — paste a messy resume, watch structured data appear — so we didn't lock it behind a paywall. The Free plan includes a metered taste of the Extractor, drawing from the same 100 AI actions per month. There's no runaway cost, and you feel the magic before you ever think about upgrading.
Higher plans raise your AI-action allowance and add the things that actually scale: the premium model lane, lead scoring, analytics, and CRM/ATS routing on Max and above.

What file types can the Extractor read?
Text and paste, images, PDFs, and audio. Images, PDFs, and audio are processed natively by the multimodal model.
