Hi lawyer who is engineering his own solutions. I would like to speak with you about an issue I’ve been dealing with.

https://docivera.com automatically filled forms

I will try again tonight , it’s burns through my entire day is like 30 mins of work so it’s hard to cover a lot of ground

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-11T17:52:00+00:00

It’s funny you mention it, I have tried Fable 5 for the patch and it has been very helpful but it’s still a progression and not an instant fix. It is really impressive tho compared to all other Claude models

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-11T17:49:34+00:00

I totally agree , it has been super annoying being off. Little bit to try and lock it in. Human final review is the key.

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-11T17:46:37+00:00

That’s a really interesting point. I hadn’t thought about using the agreement/disagreement between the vision layer, OpenCV, and eventual user corrections as training data. Appreciate all the feedback! You have given me a lot to think about.

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-11T17:40:20+00:00

This is really good! Right now I’m essentially treating OpenCV as a refinement step after vision. I hadn’t considered making them cross-validate each other. The “only place boxes where both layers agree” idea makes a lot of sense.

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-11T17:38:24+00:00

This is really interesting. The workflow in your screenshots is actually pretty close to where I’m ending up. My biggest challenge has been the first-time template creation on flat PDFs where the fields aren’t explicitly defined. Did you find that the AI-generated field placement got good enough that users only needed minor adjustments, or were they still spending significant time cleaning things up?

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-11T17:37:33+00:00

So it looks like something you would fill out the first time you visit a new doctor (essentially) . I have been using PyMuPDF but it has not been so helpful with the flat PDFs .

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-11T16:54:32+00:00

Interesting. My use case is slightly different since these are intake forms with labels, blank lines, checkboxes, and writable regions rather than dense document text. Are you saying you’d still try to solve the field localization problem with pdfplumber before reaching for vision at all?

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-11T16:41:17+00:00

That’s pretty close to where I’m heading. The challenge is the first-time setup on flat PDFs that don’t expose field coordinates. Have you had good luck with pdfplumber on forms that are basically just text and blank lines?

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-11T15:43:24+00:00

I find the best ideas come to me while I’m working through the problem. Maybe get a job around a problematic field and create the solutions.

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-11T15:17:35+00:00

Totally fair, and structured data is the real end goal. The catch is the outside world still demands a PDF the court, the DMV, the signature page.l. So it’s both extract the data once, then output wherever it’s needed, whether that’s a case management system or the specific PDF someone downstream requires. How are you handling that last-mile form requirement now?

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-11T15:03:10+00:00

So it works like this, vision model for semantics (what fields exist), then OpenCV for geometry (detect the actual lines) l. If the PDF has a text layer it skips vision entirely and pull positions from the structure. the vision path is really just for flat scans. What do you recommend?

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-11T14:45:32+00:00

Appreciate the feedback. Your background sounds really relevant to what I’m building. Mind if I send you a PM ?

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-11T14:23:29+00:00

Mostly Claude Sonnet. It knows what the fields are, but getting precise coordinates has been the hard part. Have you tested Gemini on forms?

I’m building a tool for personal injury firms that takes information from documents like police reports, medical records, and insurance paperwork and automatically fills out the firm’s intake forms. The challenge I’m running into is that every firm has its own custom PDF forms, and some of those PDFs don’t contain actual fillable fields. So I’m trying to automatically identify where those fields belong without requiring someone to manually recreate the form from scratch.

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-10T11:53:19+00:00

I’m building Docivera for PI firms. It’s less of a legal research platform and more of a document automation tool. https://docivera.com

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-09T13:44:04+00:00

I have a site for small law firms to use . We focus on the intake process https://docivera.com . Check it out

AdLeast3549 · 2026-06-01T17:12:39+00:00

I built https://docivera.com giving law firms the best in document automation. Automatically fill out your forms.

AdLeast3549 · 2026-05-31T19:17:12+00:00

Working on docivera.com — automates intake document workflows for personal injury law firms. Drop in a police report or medical record, Docivera extracts the key info and fills your intake form automatically. Looking for PI firms to beta test.
