Configuration Reference
Configuration Reference¶
This page documents all configuration types and their defaults across all languages.
AccelerationConfig¶
Hardware acceleration configuration for ONNX Runtime models.
Controls which execution provider (CPU, CoreML, CUDA, TensorRT) is used for inference in layout detection and embedding generation.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
provider |
ExecutionProviderType |
ExecutionProviderType.AUTO |
Execution provider to use for ONNX inference. |
device_id |
int |
— | GPU device ID (for CUDA/TensorRT). Ignored for CPU/CoreML/Auto. |
CaptioningConfig¶
Configuration for the VLM captioning post-processor.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
llm |
LlmConfig |
— | LLM configuration used for the VLM call. |
prompt |
str \| None |
None |
Optional custom caption prompt. None uses the default RegionKind.Caption prompt that ships with crate.llm.region_extractor. |
min_image_area |
int |
serde(default = "default_min_image_area") |
Skip images whose width * height is below this threshold (in pixels). Default 1_000 filters out icons and decorations. |
PageClassificationConfig¶
Configuration for the page-classification post-processor.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
prompt_template |
str \| None |
None |
Minijinja prompt template. Receives {{ labels }} (joined list), {{ page_text }} and {{ multi_label }} variables. None lets the backend pick a sensible default. |
labels |
list\[str\] |
— | The set of labels the classifier may emit. Must contain at least one entry. |
multi_label |
bool |
/* serde(default) */ |
Allow multiple labels per page. Single-label mode returns at most one label. |
llm |
LlmConfig |
— | LLM configuration used for classification. |
ContentFilterConfig¶
Cross-extractor content filtering configuration.
Controls whether "furniture" content (headers, footers, page numbers, watermarks, repeating text) is included in or stripped from extraction results. Applies across all extractors (PDF, DOCX, RTF, ODT, HTML, etc.) with format-specific implementation.
When None on ExtractionConfig, each extractor uses its current
default behavior unchanged.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
include_headers |
bool |
False |
Include running headers in extraction output. - PDF: Disables top-margin furniture stripping and prevents the layout model from treating PageHeader-classified regions as furniture. - DOCX: Includes document headers in text output. - RTF/ODT: Headers already included; this is a no-op when true. - HTML/EPUB: Keeps <header> element content. Default: False (headers are stripped or excluded). |
include_footers |
bool |
False |
Include running footers in extraction output. - PDF: Disables bottom-margin furniture stripping and prevents the layout model from treating PageFooter-classified regions as furniture. - DOCX: Includes document footers in text output. - RTF/ODT: Footers already included; this is a no-op when true. - HTML/EPUB: Keeps <footer> element content. Default: False (footers are stripped or excluded). |
strip_repeating_text |
bool |
True |
Enable the heuristic cross-page repeating text detector. When True (default), text that repeats verbatim across a supermajority of pages is classified as furniture and stripped. Disable this if brand names or repeated headings are being incorrectly removed by the heuristic. Note: when a layout-detection model is active, the model may independently classify page-header / page-footer regions as furniture on a per-page basis. To preserve those regions, set include_headers = true, include_footers = true, or both, in addition to disabling this flag. Primarily affects PDF extraction. Default: True. |
include_watermarks |
bool |
False |
Include watermark text in extraction output. - PDF: Keeps watermark artifacts and arXiv identifiers. - Other formats: No effect currently. Default: False (watermarks are stripped). |
EmailConfig¶
Configuration for email extraction.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
msg_fallback_codepage |
int \| None |
None |
Windows codepage number to use when an MSG file contains no codepage property. Defaults to None, which falls back to windows-1252. If an unrecognized or invalid codepage number is supplied (including 0), the behavior silently falls back to windows-1252 — the same as when the MSG file itself contains an unrecognized codepage. No error or warning is emitted. Users should verify output when supplying unusual values. Common values: - 1250: Central European (Polish, Czech, Hungarian, etc.) - 1251: Cyrillic (Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, etc.) - 1252: Western European (default) - 1253: Greek - 1254: Turkish - 1255: Hebrew - 1256: Arabic - 932: Japanese (Shift-JIS) - 936: Simplified Chinese (GBK) |
ExtractionConfig¶
Main extraction configuration.
This struct contains all configuration options for the extraction process. It can be loaded from TOML, YAML, or JSON files, or created programmatically.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
use_cache |
bool |
True |
Enable caching of extraction results |
enable_quality_processing |
bool |
True |
Enable quality post-processing |
ocr |
OcrConfig \| None |
None |
OCR configuration (None = OCR disabled) |
force_ocr |
bool |
False |
Force OCR even for searchable PDFs |
force_ocr_pages |
list\[int\] \| None |
None |
Force OCR on specific pages only (1-indexed page numbers, must be >= 1). When set, only the listed pages are OCR'd regardless of text layer quality. Unlisted pages use native text extraction. Ignored when force_ocr is True. Only applies to PDF documents. Duplicates are automatically deduplicated. An ocr config is recommended for backend/language selection; defaults are used if absent. |
disable_ocr |
bool |
False |
Disable OCR entirely, even for images. When True, OCR is skipped for all document types. Images return metadata only (dimensions, format, EXIF) without text extraction. PDFs use only native text extraction without OCR fallback. Cannot be True simultaneously with force_ocr. Added in v4.7.0. |
chunking |
ChunkingConfig \| None |
None |
Text chunking configuration (None = chunking disabled) |
content_filter |
ContentFilterConfig \| None |
None |
Content filtering configuration (None = use extractor defaults). Controls whether document "furniture" (headers, footers, watermarks, repeating text) is included in or stripped from extraction results. See ContentFilterConfig for per-field documentation. |
images |
ImageExtractionConfig \| None |
None |
Image extraction configuration (None = no image extraction) |
pdf_options |
PdfConfig \| None |
None |
PDF-specific options (None = use defaults) |
token_reduction |
TokenReductionOptions \| None |
None |
Token reduction configuration (None = no token reduction) |
language_detection |
LanguageDetectionConfig \| None |
None |
Language detection configuration (None = no language detection) |
pages |
PageConfig \| None |
None |
Page extraction configuration (None = no page tracking) |
keywords |
KeywordConfig \| None |
None |
Keyword extraction configuration (None = no keyword extraction) |
postprocessor |
PostProcessorConfig \| None |
None |
Post-processor configuration (None = use defaults) |
html_output |
HtmlOutputConfig \| None |
None |
Styled HTML output configuration. When set alongside output_format = OutputFormat.Html, the extraction pipeline uses StyledHtmlRenderer which emits stable kb-* CSS class hooks on every structural element and optionally embeds theme CSS or user-supplied CSS in a <style> block. When None, the existing plain comrak-based HTML renderer is used. |
extraction_timeout_secs |
int \| None |
None |
Default per-file timeout in seconds for batch extraction. When set, each file in a batch will be canceled after this duration unless overridden by FileExtractionConfig.timeout_secs. Defaults to Some(60) to prevent pathological files (e.g. deeply nested archives, documents with millions of cells) from running indefinitely and exhausting caller resources. Set to None to disable the timeout for trusted input or long-running workloads. |
max_concurrent_extractions |
int \| None |
None |
Maximum concurrent extractions in batch operations (None = (num_cpus × 1.5).ceil()). Limits parallelism to prevent resource exhaustion when processing large batches. Defaults to (num_cpus × 1.5).ceil() when not set. |
result_format |
ResultFormat |
ResultFormat.UNIFIED |
Result structure format Controls whether results are returned in unified format (default) with all content in the content field, or element-based format with semantic elements (for Unstructured-compatible output). |
security_limits |
SecurityLimits \| None |
None |
Security limits for archive extraction. Controls maximum archive size, compression ratio, file count, and other security thresholds to prevent decompression bomb attacks. Also caps nesting depth, iteration count, entity / token length, total content size, and table cell count for every extraction path that ingests user-controlled bytes. When None, default limits are used. |
max_embedded_file_bytes |
int \| None |
None |
Maximum uncompressed size in bytes for a single embedded file before recursive extraction is attempted (default: 50 MiB). Applies to embedded objects inside OOXML containers (DOCX, PPTX) and to email attachments processed via recursive extraction. Files that exceed this limit are skipped with a ProcessingWarning rather than passed to the extraction pipeline, preventing a single oversized embedded object from consuming unbounded memory or time. Set to None to disable the per-embedded-file cap (falls back to security_limits.max_archive_size as the only guard). |
output_format |
OutputFormat |
OutputFormat.PLAIN |
Content text format (default: Plain). Controls the format of the extracted content: - Plain: Raw extracted text (default) - Markdown: Markdown formatted output - Djot: Djot markup format (requires djot feature) - Html: HTML formatted output When set to a structured format, extraction results will include formatted output. The formatted_content field may be populated when format conversion is applied. |
layout |
LayoutDetectionConfig \| None |
None |
Layout detection configuration (None = layout detection disabled). When set, PDF pages and images are analyzed for document structure (headings, code, formulas, tables, figures, etc.) using RT-DETR models via ONNX Runtime. For PDFs, layout hints override paragraph classification in the markdown pipeline. For images, per-region OCR is performed with markdown formatting based on detected layout classes. Requires the layout-detection feature to run inference; the field is present whenever the layout-types feature is active (which includes layout-detection as well as the no-ORT target groups). |
transcription |
TranscriptionConfig \| None |
None |
Transcription (speech-to-text) configuration for audio/video files. When set and enabled, files with audio/video MIME types (mp3, mp4, m4a, wav, webm, etc.) are routed to the Whisper-based transcription pipeline. The actual heavy dependencies are only active under the transcription feature; the field is visible under transcription-types (including on WASM and Android targets that use the no-ORT preset). Default: None (transcription disabled). This is an additive, non-breaking change. |
use_layout_for_markdown |
bool |
False |
Run layout detection on the non-OCR PDF markdown path. When True and layout is Some(_), layout regions inform heading, table, list, and figure detection in the structure pipeline that would otherwise rely on font-clustering heuristics alone. Significantly improves SF1 (structural F1) at the cost of inference latency (~150-300ms/page CPU, ~20-50ms/page GPU). Default: False. Requires the layout-detection feature. |
include_document_structure |
bool |
False |
Enable structured document tree output. When true, populates the document field on ExtractionResult with a hierarchical DocumentStructure containing heading-driven section nesting, table grids, content layer classification, and inline annotations. Independent of result_format — can be combined with Unified or ElementBased. |
acceleration |
AccelerationConfig \| None |
None |
Hardware acceleration configuration for ONNX Runtime models. Controls execution provider selection for layout detection and embedding models. When None, uses platform defaults (CoreML on macOS, CUDA on Linux, CPU on Windows). |
cache_namespace |
str \| None |
None |
Cache namespace for tenant isolation. When set, cache entries are stored under {cache_dir}/{namespace}/. Must be alphanumeric, hyphens, or underscores only (max 64 chars). Different namespaces have isolated cache spaces on the same filesystem. |
cache_ttl_secs |
int \| None |
None |
Per-request cache TTL in seconds. Overrides the global max_age_days for this specific extraction. When 0, caching is completely skipped (no read or write). When None, the global TTL applies. |
email |
EmailConfig \| None |
None |
Email extraction configuration (None = use defaults). Currently supports configuring the fallback codepage for MSG files that do not specify one. See EmailConfig for details. |
max_archive_depth |
int |
— | Maximum recursion depth for archive extraction (default: 3). Set to 0 to disable recursive extraction (legacy behavior). |
tree_sitter |
TreeSitterConfig \| None |
None |
Tree-sitter language pack configuration (None = tree-sitter disabled). When set, enables code file extraction using tree-sitter parsers. Controls grammar download behavior and code analysis options. |
structured_extraction |
StructuredExtractionConfig \| None |
None |
Structured extraction via LLM (None = disabled). When set, the extracted document content is sent to an LLM with the provided JSON schema. The structured response is stored in ExtractionResult.structured_output. |
ner |
NerConfig \| None |
None |
Named-entity recognition configuration. When set, the NER post-processor runs at the Middle stage and populates ExtractionResult.entities. |
redaction |
RedactionConfig \| None |
None |
Redaction / anonymisation configuration. When set, the redaction post-processor runs at the Late stage and rewrites every textual field in ExtractionResult, emitting an audit trail in ExtractionResult.redaction_report. |
summarization |
SummarizationConfig \| None |
None |
Summarisation configuration. When set, the summarisation post-processor runs at the Middle stage and populates ExtractionResult.summary. |
translation |
TranslationConfig \| None |
None |
Translation configuration. When set, the translation post-processor runs at the Middle stage and populates ExtractionResult.translation. |
page_classification |
PageClassificationConfig \| None |
None |
Per-page classification configuration. When set, the classification post-processor runs at the Middle stage and populates ExtractionResult.page_classifications. |
captioning |
CaptioningConfig \| None |
None |
VLM captioning configuration for extracted images. When set, the captioning post-processor runs at the Middle stage and writes a caption into each ExtractedImage.caption. |
qr_codes |
bool \| None |
None |
Enable QR-code detection in extracted images. When True, the QR post-processor runs at the Middle stage and populates ExtractedImage.qr_codes. |
FileExtractionConfig¶
Per-file extraction configuration overrides for batch processing.
All fields are Option<T> — None means "use the batch-level default."
This type is used with batch_extract_files and
batch_extract_bytes to allow heterogeneous
extraction settings within a single batch.
Excluded Fields¶
The following ExtractionConfig fields are batch-level only and
cannot be overridden per file:

None |
Transcription configuration (see ExtractionConfig for docs). |
timeout_secs |
int \| None |
None |

SvgOptions¶
SVG-specific configuration for the image-encode pipeline.
Applies when the source image is SVG or when the output format is set to
ImageOutputFormat.Svg. Available when the svg feature is active.
Used via ImageExtractionConfig.svg.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
sanitize |
bool |
True |
Run SVG bytes through usvg sanitization (strips external href attributes, JavaScript event handlers, and foreignObject elements) even when the output format is Native. Defaults to True. |
render_dpi |
float |
96 |
Target DPI when rasterizing SVG to a pixel-based format (PNG, JPEG, WebP, HEIF). The tree's viewBox is scaled by render_dpi / 96.0 before the pixel buffer is allocated. Defaults to 96.0 (1× CSS pixel density). |
ImageExtractionConfig¶
Image extraction configuration.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
extract_images |
bool |
True |
Extract images from documents |
target_dpi |
int |
300 |
Target DPI for image normalization |
max_image_dimension |
int |
4096 |
Maximum dimension for images (width or height) |
inject_placeholders |
bool |
True |
Whether to inject image reference placeholders into markdown output. When True (default), image references like !\[Image 1\](embedded:p1_i0) are appended to the markdown. Set to False to extract images as data without polluting the markdown output. |
auto_adjust_dpi |
bool |
True |
Automatically adjust DPI based on image content |
min_dpi |
int |
72 |
Minimum DPI threshold |
max_dpi |
int |
600 |
Maximum DPI threshold |
max_images_per_page |
int \| None |
None |
Maximum number of image objects to extract per PDF page. Some PDFs (e.g. technical diagrams stored as thousands of raster fragments) can trigger extremely long or indefinite extraction times when every image object on a dense page is decoded individually via the PDF extractor. Setting this limit causes kreuzberg to stop collecting individual images once the count per page reaches the cap and emit a warning instead. None (default) means no limit — all images are extracted. |
classify |
bool |
False |
When True, extracted images are classified by kind and grouped into clusters where they appear to belong to one figure. Defaults to False — opt in explicitly to avoid unexpected ML overhead. |
include_page_rasters |
bool |
False |
When True, full-page renders produced during OCR preprocessing are captured and returned as ImageKind.PageRaster entries in ExtractionResult.images. PDF + OCR only. No rasters are captured for non-PDF inputs or when the document-level OCR bypass is active (whole-document backend). When OCR is enabled and this flag is set but the active backend skips per-page rendering, a ProcessingWarning is emitted in ExtractionResult.processing_warnings. Defaults to False. Enable when downstream consumers need page thumbnails (e.g. citation previews, visual grounding). |
run_ocr_on_images |
bool |
True |
Run OCR on extracted images and include the recognized text in the document content. When True (default) and ExtractionConfig.ocr is configured, extracted images are processed with the configured OCR backend. Set to False to extract images without OCR processing, even when OCR is enabled. |
ocr_text_only |
bool |
False |
When True, image OCR results are rendered as plain text without the !\[...\](...) markdown placeholder. Only takes effect when run_ocr_on_images is also True. |
append_ocr_text |
bool |
False |
When True and ocr_text_only is False, append the OCR text after the image placeholder in the rendered output. |
output_format |
ImageOutputFormat |
ImageOutputFormat.NATIVE |
Target format for re-encoding extracted images. When set to anything other than Native, each extracted image is re-encoded to the requested format before being returned. This lets callers receive uniform output without duplicating encode logic downstream. Defaults to Native — no re-encode pass is performed and ExtractedImage.format reflects the source extractor's output. |
svg |
SvgOptions |
— | SVG-specific knobs for the image-encode pipeline. Controls sanitization and rasterization DPI when the source or output format is SVG. Only available when the svg feature is active. |
include_data_base64 |
bool |
False |
When True, populate ExtractedImage.data_base64 with a Base64-encoded copy of the raw image bytes. Useful for JSON-only clients that cannot efficiently parse the default integer-array serialization of data. Defaults to False; enabling it doubles the in-memory image representation for the duration of the response. |
TokenReductionOptions¶
Token reduction configuration.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
mode |
str |
— | Reduction mode: "off", "light", "moderate", "aggressive", "maximum" |

Enable language detection |
min_confidence |
float |
0.8 |
Minimum confidence threshold (0.0-1.0) |
detect_multiple |
bool |
False |
Detect multiple languages in the document |
HtmlOutputConfig¶
Configuration for styled HTML output.
When set on html_output alongside
output_format = OutputFormat.Html, the pipeline builds a
StyledHtmlRenderer instead of
the plain comrak-based renderer.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
css |
str \| None |
None |
Inline CSS string injected into the output after the theme stylesheet. Concatenated after css_file content when both are set. |
css_file |
str \| None |
None |
Path to a CSS file loaded once at renderer construction time. Concatenated before css when both are set. |
theme |
HtmlTheme |
HtmlTheme.UNSTYLED |
Built-in colour/typography theme. Default: HtmlTheme.Unstyled. |
class_prefix |
str |
— | CSS class prefix applied to every emitted class name. Default: "kb-". Change this if your host application already uses classes that start with kb-. |
embed_css |
bool |
True |
When True (default), write the resolved CSS into a <style> block immediately after the opening <div class="{prefix}doc">. Set to False to emit only the structural markup and wire up your own stylesheet targeting the kb-* class names. |
LayoutDetectionConfig¶
Layout detection configuration.
Controls layout detection behavior in the extraction pipeline.
When set on ExtractionConfig, layout detection
is enabled for PDF extraction.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

Table structure recognition model. Controls which model is used for table cell detection within layout-detected table regions. Defaults to TableModel.Tatr. |
acceleration |
AccelerationConfig \| None |
None |
Hardware acceleration for ONNX models (layout detection + table structure). When set, controls which execution provider (CPU, CUDA, CoreML, TensorRT) is used for inference. Defaults to None (auto-select per platform). |
enable_chart_understanding |
bool |
False |
Route regions classified as charts to the chart-understanding OCR task. When True, layout regions detected as charts are sent to the VLM chart task (data-series/axis recovery) instead of being treated as generic image regions. Defaults to False — chart understanding is opt-in and has no effect on standard text/table extraction scores. |
LlmConfig¶
Configuration for an LLM provider/model via liter-llm.
Each feature (VLM OCR, VLM embeddings, structured extraction) carries
its own LlmConfig, allowing different providers per feature.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
model |
str |
— | Provider/model string using liter-llm routing format. Examples: "openai/gpt-4o", "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514", "groq/llama-3.1-70b-versatile". |
api_key |
str \| None |
None |
API key for the provider. When None, liter-llm falls back to the provider's standard environment variable (e.g., OPENAI_API_KEY). |

Maximum tokens to generate. |
StructuredExtractionConfig¶
Configuration for LLM-based structured data extraction.
Sends extracted document content to a VLM with a JSON schema, returning structured data that conforms to the schema.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
schema |
dict\[str, Any\] |
— | JSON Schema defining the desired output structure. |
schema_name |
str |
serde(default = "default_schema_name") |
Schema name passed to the LLM's structured output mode. |
schema_description |
str \| None |
/* serde(default) */ |
Optional schema description for the LLM. |
strict |
bool |
/* serde(default) */ |
Enable strict mode — output must exactly match the schema. |
prompt |
str \| None |
/* serde(default) */ |
Custom Jinja2 extraction prompt template. When None, a default template is used. Available template variables: - {{ content }} — The extracted document text. - {{ schema }} — The JSON schema as a formatted string. - {{ schema_name }} — The schema name. - {{ schema_description }} — The schema description (may be empty). |
llm |
LlmConfig |
— | LLM configuration for the extraction. |
NerConfig¶
Configuration for the NER post-processor.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
backend |
NerBackendKind |
NerBackendKind.ONNX |
Backend that runs the entity detection. |
categories |
list\[EntityCategory\] |
\[\] |
Entity categories to detect. Defaults to a sensible PERSON/ORG/LOCATION/EMAIL set when empty. |
model |
str \| None |
None |
Override the default model — only used by NerBackendKind.Onnx. None lets the backend pick its pinned default (urchade/gliner_multi-v2.1 for gline-rs). |
llm |
LlmConfig \| None |
None |
Optional LLM configuration — only used by NerBackendKind.Llm. Token usage for LLM backends is recorded in ExtractionResult.llm_usage. |
custom_labels |
list\[str\] |
\[\] |
Arbitrary user-supplied entity labels for zero-shot detection. gline-rs natively supports zero-shot inference over caller-supplied labels — this is the primary value of GLiNER. The LLM backend also honours these labels by including them in the structured-output schema. Custom labels surface as EntityCategory.Custom in the resulting Entity stream. Use this when you need domain-specific entity types (e.g. "Treatment", "Product", "Vessel") without forking GLiNER's taxonomy. |
OcrQualityThresholds¶
Quality thresholds for OCR fallback decisions and pipeline quality gating.
All fields default to the values that match the previous hardcoded behavior,
so OcrQualityThresholds.default() preserves existing semantics exactly.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |

Minimum character count for "substantive markdown" OCR skip gate. |
non_text_min_chars |
int |
20 |
Minimum character count for "non-text content" OCR skip gate. |
alnum_ws_ratio_threshold |
float |
0.4 |
Alphanumeric+whitespace ratio threshold for skip decisions. |
pipeline_min_quality |
float |
0.5 |
Minimum quality score (0.0-1.0) for a pipeline stage result to be accepted. If the result from a backend scores below this, try the next backend. |
OcrPipelineConfig¶
Multi-backend OCR pipeline with quality-based fallback.
Backends are tried in priority order (highest first). After each backend
produces output, quality is evaluated. If it meets quality_thresholds.pipeline_min_quality,
the result is accepted. Otherwise the next backend is tried.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
stages |
list\[OcrPipelineStage\] |
— | Ordered list of backends to try. Sorted by priority (descending) at runtime. |
quality_thresholds |
OcrQualityThresholds |
/* serde(default) */ |
Quality thresholds for deciding whether to accept a result or try the next backend. |
OcrConfig¶
OCR configuration.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
enabled |
bool |
True |
Whether OCR is enabled. Setting enabled: false is a shorthand for disable_ocr: true on the parent ExtractionConfig. Images return metadata only; PDFs use native text extraction without OCR fallback. Defaults to True. When False, all other OCR settings are ignored. |
backend |
str |
— | OCR backend: tesseract, easyocr, paddleocr |
language |
list\[str\] |
\[\] |
Language code(s) for OCR recognition. Accepts either a single language code ("eng") or a list (["eng", "deu"]). Defaults to ["eng"]. For Tesseract, languages are joined with "+". |
tesseract_config |
TesseractConfig \| None |
None |
Tesseract-specific configuration (optional) |
output_format |
OutputFormat \| None |
None |
Output format for OCR results (optional, for format conversion) |
paddle_ocr_config |
dict\[str, Any\] \| None |
None |
PaddleOCR-specific configuration (optional, JSON passthrough) |
backend_options |
dict\[str, Any\] \| None |
None |
Arbitrary per-call options passed through to the backend unchanged. Custom OCR backends and built-in backends that support runtime tuning can read this value and deserialize the keys they care about. Keys unknown to the backend are silently ignored. This is the recommended extension point for per-call parameters that are not covered by the typed fields above (e.g. mode switching, preprocessing flags, inference batch size). Scope: when pipeline is None, this value is propagated to the primary stage of the auto-constructed pipeline. When pipeline is explicitly set, this field has no effect — the caller must set OcrPipelineStage.backend_options directly on the relevant stage(s) instead. Example: json { "mode": "fast", "enable_layout": true, "timeout_ms": 5000 } |
element_config |
OcrElementConfig \| None |
None |
OCR element extraction configuration |
quality_thresholds |
OcrQualityThresholds \| None |
None |
Quality thresholds for the native-text-to-OCR fallback decision. When None, uses compiled defaults (matching previous hardcoded behavior). |
pipeline |
OcrPipelineConfig \| None |
None |
Multi-backend OCR pipeline configuration. When set, enables weighted fallback across multiple OCR backends based on output quality. When None, uses the single backend field (same as today). |
auto_rotate |
bool |
False |
Enable automatic page rotation based on orientation detection. When enabled, uses Tesseract's DetectOrientationScript() to detect page orientation (0/90/180/270 degrees) before OCR. If the page is rotated with high confidence, the image is corrected before recognition. This is critical for handling rotated scanned documents. |
vlm_fallback |
VlmFallbackPolicy |
VlmFallbackPolicy.DISABLED |
Ergonomic VLM fallback policy. When set to anything other than VlmFallbackPolicy.Disabled and OcrConfig.pipeline is None, a multi-stage pipeline is synthesised automatically: - VlmFallbackPolicy.OnLowQuality → \[classical_stage, vlm_stage\] with the quality_threshold mapped onto OcrQualityThresholds.pipeline_min_quality. - VlmFallbackPolicy.Always → \[vlm_stage\] only. Requires OcrConfig.vlm_config to be Some when not Disabled. When OcrConfig.pipeline is explicitly set, this field is ignored. |
vlm_config |
LlmConfig \| None |
None |
VLM (Vision Language Model) OCR configuration. Required when backend is "vlm" or when vlm_fallback is not VlmFallbackPolicy.Disabled. Uses liter-llm to send page images to a vision model for text extraction. |
vlm_prompt |
str \| None |
None |
Custom Jinja2 prompt template for VLM OCR. When None, uses the default template. Available variables: - {{ language }} — The document language code (e.g., "eng", "deu"). |
acceleration |
AccelerationConfig \| None |
None |
Hardware acceleration for ONNX Runtime models (e.g. PaddleOCR, layout detection). Not user-configurable via config files — injected at runtime from ExtractionConfig.acceleration before each process_image call. |
tessdata_bytes |
dict\[str, bytes\] \| None |
None |
Caller-supplied Tesseract traineddata bytes per language code. Primary use case is the WASM build, which has no filesystem and cannot download tessdata at runtime. Native builds typically rely on TessdataManager and ignore this field. When present, the WASM Tesseract backend prefers these bytes over its compile-time-bundled English data. Skipped by serde to keep config files small — supply via the typed API at runtime. |
tessdata_path |
str \| None |
None |
Runtime override for tessdata directory path. When set, uses this path as the highest-priority tessdata location, bypassing environment variables and cache directories. Useful for embedding pre-installed tessdata in applications. When None, uses the standard resolution chain: TESSDATA_PREFIX env, cache dir, system paths. |
PageConfig¶
Page extraction and tracking configuration.
Controls how pages are extracted, tracked, and represented in the extraction results.
When None, page tracking is disabled.
Page range tracking in chunk metadata (first_page/last_page) is automatically enabled when page boundaries are available and chunking is configured.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
extract_pages |
bool |
False |
Extract pages as separate array (ExtractionResult.pages) |
insert_page_markers |
bool |
False |
Insert page markers in main content string |
marker_format |
str |
"<!-- PAGE {page_num} -->" |
Page marker format (use {page_num} placeholder) Default: "\n\n\n\n" |
PdfConfig¶
PDF-specific configuration.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
extract_images |
bool |
False |
Extract images from PDF |
extract_tables |
bool |
True |
Extract tables from PDF. When True (default), runs pdf_oxide's native grid detector and, if it finds nothing, falls back to the heuristic text-layer reconstruction in pdf.oxide.table.extract_tables_heuristic. Set to False to skip both passes — tables will then be empty in the result. |
passwords |
list\[str\] \| None |
None |
List of passwords to try when opening encrypted PDFs |
extract_metadata |
bool |
True |
Extract PDF metadata |
hierarchy |
HierarchyConfig \| None |
None |
Hierarchy extraction configuration (None = hierarchy extraction disabled) |
extract_annotations |
bool |
False |
Extract PDF annotations (text notes, highlights, links, stamps). Default: false |
top_margin_fraction |
float \| None |
None |
Top margin fraction (0.0–1.0) of page height to exclude headers/running heads. Default: 0.06 (6%) |
bottom_margin_fraction |
float \| None |
None |
Bottom margin fraction (0.0–1.0) of page height to exclude footers/page numbers. Default: 0.05 (5%) |
allow_single_column_tables |
bool |
False |
Allow single-column pseudo tables in extraction results. By default, tables with fewer than 2 columns (layout-guided) or 3 columns (heuristic) are rejected. When True, the minimum column count is relaxed to 1, allowing single-column structured data (glossaries, itemized lists) to be emitted as tables. Other quality filters (density, sparsity, prose detection) still apply. |
ocr_inline_images |
bool |
False |
Perform OCR on inline images extracted from PDF pages and attach the recognized text to each ExtractedImage.ocr_result. Requires Tesseract to be available; if ExtractionConfig.ocr is None the extractor falls back to TesseractConfig.default(). Per-image failures degrade gracefully (the image is returned without OCR text rather than failing the whole extraction). Default: False. |
extract_form_fields |
bool |
True |
Extract AcroForm and XFA form fields into ExtractionResult.form_fields. When True (default), reads the document's interactive form structure (field names, types, values, widget geometry). Cheap and strictly additive — non-form PDFs simply yield an empty list. Set to False to skip the form pass entirely. |
reading_order |
bool |
False |
Reorder extracted text by layout-detected reading order. When True, projects text spans onto layout-detected regions, performs column detection, and emits spans in natural reading order (important for multi-column academic PDFs). Requires the layout-detection feature; has no effect without it. Defaults to False. |
HierarchyConfig¶
Hierarchy extraction configuration for PDF text structure analysis.
Enables extraction of document hierarchy levels (H1-H6) based on font size clustering and semantic analysis. When enabled, hierarchical blocks are included in page content.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
enabled |
bool |
True |
Enable hierarchy extraction |
k_clusters |
int |
3 |
Number of font size clusters to use for hierarchy levels (1-7) Default: 6, which provides H1-H6 heading levels with body text. Larger values create more fine-grained hierarchy levels. |
include_bbox |
bool |
True |
Include bounding box information in hierarchy blocks |
ocr_coverage_threshold |
float \| None |
None |
OCR coverage threshold for smart OCR triggering (0.0-1.0) Determines when OCR should be triggered based on text block coverage. OCR is triggered when text blocks cover less than this fraction of the page. Default: 0.5 (trigger OCR if less than 50% of page has text) |
PostProcessorConfig¶
Post-processor configuration.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
enabled |
bool |
True |
Enable post-processors |
enabled_processors |

disabled_set |
list\[str\] \| None |
None |
Pre-computed AHashSet for O(1) disabled processor lookup |
ChunkingConfig¶
Chunking configuration.
Configures text chunking for document content, including chunk size, overlap, trimming behavior, and optional embeddings.
Use ..the default constructor when constructing to allow for future field additions:
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
max_characters |
int |
1000 |
Maximum size per chunk (in units determined by sizing). When sizing is Characters (default), this is the max character count. When using token-based sizing, this is the max token count. Default: 1000 |
overlap |
int |
200 |
Overlap between chunks (in units determined by sizing). Default: 200 |
trim |
bool |
True |
Whether to trim whitespace from chunk boundaries. Default: true |
chunker_type |
ChunkerType |
ChunkerType.TEXT |
Type of chunker to use (Text or Markdown). Default: Text |
embedding |
EmbeddingConfig \| None |
None |
Optional embedding configuration for chunk embeddings. |
preset |
str \| None |
None |
Use a preset configuration (overrides individual settings if provided). |
sizing |
ChunkSizing |
ChunkSizing.CHARACTERS |
How to measure chunk size. Default: Characters (Unicode character count). Enable chunking-tiktoken or chunking-tokenizers features for token-based sizing. |
prepend_heading_context |
bool |
False |
When True and chunker_type is Markdown, prepend the heading hierarchy path (e.g. "# Title > ## Section\n\n") to each chunk's content string. This is useful for RAG pipelines where each chunk needs self-contained context about its position in the document structure. Default: False |
topic_threshold |
float \| None |
None |
Optional cosine similarity threshold for semantic topic boundary detection. Only used when chunker_type is Semantic and an EmbeddingConfig is provided. You almost never need to set this. When omitted, defaults to 0.75 which works well for most documents. Lower values detect more topic boundaries (more, smaller chunks); higher values detect fewer. Range: 0.0..=1.0. |
table_chunking |
TableChunkingMode |
TableChunkingMode.SPLIT |
How to handle markdown tables that exceed the chunk size limit. Only applies when chunker_type is Markdown. - Split (default) — tables are split at row boundaries; continuation chunks do not repeat the header. - RepeatHeader — the table header row and separator are prepended to every continuation chunk so each chunk is self-contained. Default: Split |
EmbeddingConfig¶
Embedding configuration for text chunks.
Configures embedding generation using ONNX models via the vendored embedding engine.
Requires the embeddings feature to be enabled.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
model |
EmbeddingModelType |
EmbeddingModelType.PRESET |
The embedding model to use (defaults to "balanced" preset if not specified) |
normalize |
bool |
True |
Whether to normalize embedding vectors (recommended for cosine similarity) |
batch_size |
int |
32 |
Batch size for embedding generation |
show_download_progress |
bool |
False |
Show model download progress |
cache_dir |
str \| None |
None |
Custom cache directory for model files Defaults to ~/.cache/kreuzberg/embeddings/ if not specified. Allows full customization of model download location. |
acceleration |
AccelerationConfig \| None |
None |
Hardware acceleration for the embedding ONNX model. When set, controls which execution provider (CPU, CUDA, CoreML, TensorRT) is used for inference. Defaults to None (auto-select per platform). |
max_embed_duration_secs |
int \| None |
None |
Maximum wall-clock duration (in seconds) for a single embed() call when using EmbeddingModelType.Plugin. Applies only to the in-process plugin path — protects against hung host-language backends (e.g. a Python callback deadlocked on the GIL, a model stuck on CUDA OOM retries, etc.). On timeout, the dispatcher returns Plugin instead of blocking forever. None disables the timeout. The default (60 seconds) is conservative for common in-process inference; increase for large batches on slow hardware. |
RedactionConfig¶
Configuration for the redaction post-processor.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
categories |
list\[PiiCategory\] |
\[\] |
Categories to redact. Empty means "every category supported by the engine." |
strategy |
RedactionStrategy |
RedactionStrategy.MASK |
Strategy applied to every match. |
ner |
NerConfig \| None |
None |
Optional NER backend — required to redact PERSON / ORGANIZATION / LOCATION categories (the pure-Rust pattern engine only covers regex-detectable PII). |
preserve_offsets |
bool |
True |
When True, chunk byte ranges are kept consistent with the rewritten content by adjusting byte_start / byte_end after replacement. When False, chunk byte ranges still refer to the original content offsets — useful when downstream consumers want to map findings back to the original document. |
custom_terms |
list\[RedactionTerm\] |
\[\] |
Arbitrary user-supplied literal terms to redact. Each term is treated as a regex hit against the document, surfacing as PiiCategory.Custom(label) in RedactionFinding where label is the per-term label (defaulting to the literal value itself). Case-insensitive by default; set RedactionTerm.case_sensitive for exact match. Use this when you need to redact tenant-specific tokens (employee IDs, project codes, internal product names) without writing a custom plugin. |
custom_patterns |
list\[RedactionPattern\] |
\[\] |
Arbitrary user-supplied regex patterns to redact. Same surfacing semantics as custom_terms: each hit becomes a PiiCategory.Custom(label) finding. Patterns are validated at config-construction time via RedactionConfig.validate. |
RerankerConfig¶
Configuration for the reranking pipeline.
Controls which model to use, how many results to return, and download/cache behavior for local ONNX models.
Since v5.0.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

Hardware acceleration for the reranker ONNX model. Controls which execution provider (CPU, CUDA, CoreML, TensorRT) is used for local inference. Defaults to None (auto-select per platform). |
max_rerank_duration_secs |
int \| None |
None |
Maximum wall-clock duration (in seconds) for a single rerank() call when using RerankerModelType.Plugin. Applies only to the in-process plugin path — protects against hung host-language backends. On timeout, the dispatcher returns Plugin instead of blocking forever. None disables the timeout. The default (60 seconds) is conservative for common in-process inference; increase for large document sets on slow hardware. |
SummarizationConfig¶
Configuration for the summarisation post-processor.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
strategy |
SummaryStrategy |
SummaryStrategy.EXTRACTIVE |
Summarisation strategy. |
max_tokens |

llm |
LlmConfig \| None |
None |
LLM configuration for the abstractive backend. Ignored when strategy = Extractive. Required when strategy = Abstractive. |
TranscriptionConfig¶
Configuration for audio/video transcription (speech-to-text).
When present and enabled, Kreuzberg will route audio and video files
(mp3, mp4, m4a, wav, webm, etc.) through the transcription pipeline.
The heavy dependencies (ORT, hf-hub, symphonia) are only pulled when the
transcription feature is enabled. The config struct itself is available
under transcription-types so that ExtractionConfig round-trips on all
targets.
All fields have sensible defaults. The recommended starting point is:
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
enabled |
bool |
True |
Master switch. When false the block is ignored and audio files fall back to the normal "unsupported format" path. |
model |
WhisperModel |
WhisperModel.TINY |
Whisper model size to use. Smaller = faster + lower memory. tiny is the pragmatic default for first-time users and CI. |
language |
str \| None |
None |
Optional language hint (ISO-639-1 code, e.g. "en", "de"). When None (default), the current engine falls back to English. For deterministic production output, always set this explicitly. |
timestamps |
bool |
False |
Whether to request segment-level timestamps. Accepted for forward compatibility. The current engine always uses <\|notimestamps\|> and does not emit segment metadata yet. |
max_duration_ms |
int \| None |
None |
Hard safety limit on input duration (milliseconds). Files longer than this are rejected after decode, before model work. Default: 30 minutes. Set to None to disable (not recommended for untrusted input). |
max_bytes |
int \| None |
None |
Hard safety limit on input size (bytes). Default: 512 MiB. Protects against pathological or malicious uploads. |
timeout_ms |
int \| None |
None |
Wall-clock timeout for the entire transcription operation (ms). Default: 10 minutes. Reserved for timeout enforcement; the current extractor does not enforce this field yet. |
model_cache_dir |
str \| None |
None |
Override the directory used for Whisper model cache. When None, uses the centralized resolver: KREUZBERG_CACHE_DIR/whisper or the platform default (~/.cache/kreuzberg/whisper on Linux, etc.). |
allow_network |
bool |
True |
Allow network access to download models from Hugging Face Hub. When False, only previously cached models may be used. Useful for air-gapped or fully offline deployments. |
verify_hash |
bool |
True |
Request SHA256 verification of downloaded model files. Reserved for the checksum table follow-up. The current resolver logs a warning and treats this as a no-op. |
TranslationConfig¶
Configuration for the translation post-processor.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
target_lang |
str |
— | BCP-47 language tag for the target language (e.g. "de", "fr-CA"). |

ChunkSizing¶
How chunk size is measured.
Defaults to Characters (Unicode character count). When using token-based sizing,
chunks are sized by token count according to the specified tokenizer.
Token-based sizing uses HuggingFace tokenizers loaded at runtime. Any tokenizer
available on HuggingFace Hub can be used, including OpenAI-compatible tokenizers
(e.g., Xenova/gpt-4o, Xenova/cl100k_base).
| Variant | Wire value | Description |
|---|---|---|
Characters |
characters |
Size measured in Unicode characters (default). |
Tokenizer |
tokenizer |
Size measured in tokens from a HuggingFace tokenizer. — Fields: model: String, cache_dir: PathBuf |
ChunkerType¶
Type of text chunker to use.
Variants¶
Text- Generic text splitter, splits on whitespace and punctuationMarkdown- Markdown-aware splitter, preserves formatting and structureYaml- YAML-aware splitter, creates one chunk per top-level keySemantic- Topic-aware chunker. With anEmbeddingConfig, splits at embedding-based topic shifts tuned bytopic_threshold(default 0.75, lower = more splits). Without an embedding, falls back to a structural-boundary heuristic (ALL-CAPS headers, numbered sections, blank-line paragraphs) and merges groups into chunks capped atmax_characters(default 1000).topic_thresholdhas no effect in the fallback path. For best results, pair with an embedding model.

LargeAndManyPages |
Both size and page count exceed thresholds. — Fields: size_bytes: u64, page_count: u32 |
CodeContentMode¶
Content rendering mode for code extraction.
Controls how extracted code content is represented in the content field
of ExtractionResult.
| Variant | Wire value | Description |
|---|---|---|
Chunks |
chunks |
Use TSLP semantic chunks as content (default). |

Defined here (rather than only in crate.diff) so RevisionDelta can
reference it unconditionally, without requiring the diff Cargo feature.
crate.diff re-exports this type verbatim.
| Variant | Wire value | Description |
|---|---|---|
Context |
context |
Unchanged context line. — Fields: _0: String |
Added |
added |
Line added in the "after" version. — Fields: _0: String |

EmbeddingModelType¶
Embedding model types supported by Kreuzberg.
| Variant | Wire value | Description |
|---|---|---|
Preset |
preset |
Use a preset model configuration (recommended) — Fields: name: String |
Custom |
custom |
Use a custom ONNX model from HuggingFace — Fields: model_id: String, dimensions: usize |
Llm |
llm |
Provider-hosted embedding model via liter-llm. Uses the model specified in the nested LlmConfig (e.g., "openai/text-embedding-3-small"). — Fields: llm: LlmConfig |
Plugin |
plugin |
In-process embedding backend registered via the plugin system. The caller registers an EmbeddingBackend once (e.g. a wrapper around an already-loaded llama-cpp-python, sentence-transformers, or tuned ONNX model), then references it by name in config. Kreuzberg calls back into the registered backend during chunking and standalone embed requests — no HuggingFace download, no ONNX Runtime requirement, no HTTP sidecar. When this variant is selected, only the following EmbeddingConfig fields apply: normalize (post-call L2 normalization) and max_embed_duration_secs (dispatcher timeout). Model-loading fields (batch_size, cache_dir, show_download_progress, acceleration) are ignored — the host owns the model lifecycle. Semantic chunking falls back to ChunkingConfig.max_characters when this variant is used, since there is no preset to look a chunk-size ceiling up against — size your context window via max_characters directly. See register_embedding_backend. — Fields: name: String |
EntityCategory¶

container format before being returned in ExtractionResult.images.
The default (Native) preserves the format produced by each extractor
without any additional encode pass.
Callers that need uniform output — e.g. cloud pipelines that always store
WebP thumbnails — set this once on ImageExtractionConfig.output_format
rather than re-encoding downstream.
Serde shape¶
Uses a tagged enum: {"type": "native"}, {"type": "png"},
{"type": "jpeg", "quality": 90}, etc.
| Variant | Wire value | Description |
|---|---|---|
Native |

Preserve whatever format the extractor produced (default). No re-encode pass is performed. ExtractedImage.format reflects the source format: JPEG for embedded PDF images, PNG for rasterised content, or the native container format from office documents. |
Png |
png |
Re-encode all extracted images as PNG (lossless). |
Jpeg |
jpeg |
Re-encode all extracted images as JPEG at the given quality level. quality must be in 1..=100. Values outside this range are clamped and a warning is emitted. Higher values produce larger files with less artefacting; 85 is a reasonable default. — Fields: quality: u8 |
Webp |
webp |
Re-encode all extracted images as WebP at the given quality level. quality must be in 1..=100. Values outside this range are clamped and a warning is emitted. 80 is a reasonable default. — Fields: quality: u8 |
Heif |
heif |

When the source is already SVG, the bytes are passed through the usvg sanitizer (strips external hrefs, JS event handlers, and foreignObject elements) when SvgOptions.sanitize is True. Requires the svg feature. |
KeywordAlgorithm¶
Keyword algorithm selection.
| Variant | Wire value | Description |
|---|---|---|

The string is the label passed alongside the term/pattern. Use those fields rather than constructing Custom directly via the categories filter — the pattern engine cannot detect arbitrary text from a category name alone. — Fields: _0: String |
RedactionStrategy¶
Strategy applied when a PII match is rewritten.
| Variant | Wire value | Description |
|---|---|---|
Mask |
mask |
Replace the matched span with a fixed mask token (default "\[REDACTED\]"). |
Hash |

Llm |
llm |
Provider-hosted reranker via liter-llm (e.g. Cohere, Jina, Voyage). The model in the nested LlmConfig must be a rerank-capable model ID (e.g. "cohere/rerank-english-v3.0"). — Fields: llm: LlmConfig |
Plugin |
plugin |
In-process reranker registered via the plugin system. The caller registers a RerankerBackend once (e.g. a wrapper around a sentence-transformers cross-encoder or a provider client), then references it by name in config. Kreuzberg calls back into the registered backend — no HuggingFace download, no ONNX Runtime requirement. When this variant is selected, only max_rerank_duration_secs applies. Model-loading fields (batch_size, cache_dir, show_download_progress, acceleration) are ignored — the host owns the model lifecycle. See register_reranker_backend. — Fields: name: String |
ResultFormat¶
Result-shape selection for extraction results.
Distinct from OutputFormat (which controls rendering — Plain, Markdown,
HTML, etc.). ResultFormat controls the shape of the result: a unified content
blob vs. an element-based decomposition.
| Variant | Wire value | Description |
|---|---|---|
Unified |
unified |
Unified format with all content in content field |
ElementBased |
element_based |
Element-based format with semantic element extraction |
SummaryStrategy¶

Pure-Rust extractive summary (TextRank over the chunk graph). Deterministic, fast, no external service required. |
Abstractive |
abstractive |
Abstractive summary produced by liter-llm. Requires liter-llm feature and a configured LlmConfig. Token usage is captured in ExtractionResult.llm_usage. |
TableChunkingMode¶
Controls how markdown tables are handled when they exceed the chunk size limit.
Only applies when chunker_type is Markdown.
Variants¶
-
Split- Default behavior: tables are split at row boundaries like any other block element. Continuation chunks contain only data rows without the header, which can break downstream consumers that need column context. -
RepeatHeader- Prepend the table header (header row + separator row) to every continuation chunk that contains data rows from the same table. Adds a small amount of duplicate text but ensures each chunk is self-contained for extraction, search, and LLM consumption.
| Variant | Wire value | Description |
|---|---|---|
Split |
split |
Split tables at row boundaries (default). Continuation chunks have no header. |
RepeatHeader |
repeat_header |
Prepend the table header to every chunk that continues a split table. |
TableModel¶
Which table structure recognition model to use.
Controls the model used for table cell detection within layout-detected table regions. Wire format is snake_case in all serializers (JSON, TOML, YAML).
| Variant | Wire value | Description |
|---|---|---|
Tatr |
tatr |
TATR (Table Transformer) -- default, 30MB, DETR-based row/column detection. |

slanet_wired |
SLANeXT wired variant -- 365MB, optimized for bordered tables. |
SlanetWireless |
slanet_wireless |
SLANeXT wireless variant -- 365MB, optimized for borderless tables. |
SlanetPlus |
slanet_plus |
SLANet-plus -- 7.78MB, lightweight general-purpose. |
SlanetAuto |
slanet_auto |
Classifier-routed SLANeXT: auto-select wired/wireless per table. Uses PP-LCNet classifier (6.78MB) + both SLANeXT variants (730MB total). |

Disable table structure model inference entirely; use heuristic path only. |
TextDirection¶
Text direction enumeration for HTML documents.
| Variant | Wire value | Description |
|---|---|---|
LeftToRight |
ltr |
Left-to-right text direction |
RightToLeft |
rtl |
Right-to-left text direction |
Auto |
auto |
Automatic text direction detection |
VlmFallbackPolicy¶
Policy controlling when VLM (Vision Language Model) OCR is used as a fallback.
This knob is syntactic sugar over the explicit OcrPipelineConfig stage
ordering. When vlm_fallback is set and pipeline is None, an equivalent
pipeline is synthesised at extraction time:
VlmFallbackPolicy.Disabled— no synthesis; single-backend mode (default).-
VlmFallbackPolicy.OnLowQuality— tries the classical backend first; if the result scores belowquality_threshold, tries VLM. -
VlmFallbackPolicy.Always— skips the classical backend and sends every page to the VLM.
When OcrConfig.pipeline is explicitly set, vlm_fallback is ignored — the
explicit pipeline takes precedence.
Errors:
Both OnLowQuality and Always require OcrConfig.vlm_config to be Some.
Constructing an OcrConfig with one of these policies but no vlm_config is
detected by OcrConfig.validate and will surface as a
Validation error at extraction time, not a panic.
| Variant | Wire value | Description |
|---|---|---|
Disabled |
disabled |
No VLM fallback (default). Behaves identically to the pre-policy single-backend mode. |
OnLowQuality |
on_low_quality |
Try the classical OCR backend first. If the quality score is below quality_threshold, send the page to the VLM. quality_threshold is in the \[0.0, 1.0\] range produced by calculate_quality_score. A value of 0.5 is a reasonable starting point; calibrate with the Stage 0 benchmark harness. — Fields: quality_threshold: f64 |
Always |
always |
Skip the classical OCR backend entirely. Every page is sent to the VLM. |
WhisperModel¶
Supported Whisper model sizes.
These map to published ONNX exports on Hugging Face (onnx-community or similar orgs). The actual filenames and repos are resolved inside the transcription engine.
| Variant | Wire value | Description |
|---|---|---|
Tiny |

Base |
base |
Reasonable quality/speed tradeoff. |
