OCR extracts business names, formation dates, and addresses from uploaded documents automatically. But users still need to trust what the system found before anything gets submitted.
We designed the confirmation flow around editable fields that surface extracted data clearly. Users review what the system found and correct where needed, rather than typing everything from scratch. The design choice was to make the AI output feel transparent and controllable.

Great work!

Editable-by-default beats a blind accept/reject toggle here — it keeps the correction cost at one field when OCR gets a formation date wrong, instead of forcing a full manual re-entry the moment trust breaks on a single value.

Confirmation flows for OCR-extracted data are so easy to get wrong, either too much friction re-verifying everything or too little and errors slip through. Did you test how far you could push toward minimal review before people stopped trusting the auto-fill entirely?

The editable-fields approach is smart, letting people verify OCR output instead of trusting it blindly probably saves you a ton of support tickets down the line.

clean design!

Looks good. I like the minimalist approach. Nice and clean.

This is great tho

Making AI output editable rather than just showing a result is such a smart trust-building move. Users feel in control instead of just hoping the system got it right.

The editable confirmation step does more than correct OCR errors. It creates an audit boundary between machine extraction and user intent. I’d surface confidence selectively by flagging uncertain fields instead of asking users to distrust every value equally. Strong product thinking.

Good work

Love this approach Making AI-generated data editable and transparent is such a smart UX decision. It reduces friction while still giving users full control. Really clean work!
Tabish's avatar
The UX tension you've solved here is the right one. AI does the extraction but the user has to own what gets submitted, so locked read-only fields would create exactly the wrong feeling. Editable fields that surface the extracted value flip the dynamic from rubber-stamping to...

I like the clean interface + UX decision you made.

Goated work

One detail I would want in this review step is a link from each extracted value back to the source region. A wrong date can still look perfectly plausible in an editable field. Did you include a document crop or highlight beside the field, and how did you balance that extra context against keeping the form compact?

This is a smart UX pattern letting users review and edit AI-extracted data builds trust without adding extra friction.

Editable fields are the right call. OCR is never perfect, so letting people correct the extraction keeps trust instead of forcing a restart.

Nice Design

Would you keep the user's corrections if they upload the document again? Having to fix the same date twice would make this flow feel much less helpful.

There's a lot of nuanced involved with this. When you're changing the date we need to know if it's because the AI captured it wrong or because your document is wrong given it has legal implications. Many small challenges like this with it.
Azizxon's avatar
That distinction makes sense. I meant retaining a confirmed OCR correction for the same document, rather than silently applying it to a new upload. Do you show the extracted value alongside the corrected one?

Yes, the original document is highlighted with the extracted fields!

the checklist showing which document is already confirmed before you open the next one is what actually kills the anxiety here, not the editable fields

Letting people check what the OCR found before it's saved is the part most onboarding flows skip
Hoang's avatar
The original-value trace is the part I’d care about most here. Editable fields are good, but for legal/business data I’d want every correction to preserve what OCR saw + what the user changed. Otherwise you fix the UX and lose the audit trail.
Rakesh's avatar
Your UI design looks very minimal and clean. However, I noticed a potential UX issue: users may feel confused about what happens after they upload a file, as the next step and overall goal aren't clearly communicated. I’d suggest introducing a clear, step-by-step process with...

Editable fields with the source visible is the right call. People trust extracted data a lot more when they can see where each value came from and fix it in place.
Mayke's avatar
Flagging only the low-confidence fields (say, a smudged formation date) instead of making every extracted value equally editable could cut review time even further. Did you experiment with showing confidence levels, or did users trust the flow more when everything looked equally reviewable?
OLANREWAJU's avatar
This is the right trust boundary for AI output. Business names, formation dates and addresses carry real consequences if they're wrong, so making the extracted data editable — rather than asking users to blindly accept it before submission — keeps the automation useful without...
Piet's avatar
Showing what the system found and letting people fix one field is the whole trust game. Nobody minds AI being wrong, they mind not being able to correct it fast.
Rukhsar's avatar
This is the right trust boundary for AI output. I have worked on OCR flows before and blind accept is where errors ship. Keeping every extracted field editable while surfacing what the system found is the detail I would fight for too.
