Image vs. Text: What Modality to Use for Document Processing?
Choosing between text and image modalities is crucial for efficient and accurate document processing. This guide provides heuristics for selecting the appropriate method based on document type and length, recommending image processing for short, visually dense documents and text processing for longer, text-heavy ones. It also covers processing standalone images, emails, and web pages, and suggests a hybrid approach when beneficial. A list of supported file types for each modality is included to aid in decision-making.
