Extract text and metadata from all your files
A content extraction service powered by Apache Tika, installed and maintained by DINAO. PDFs, Office files, images… your documents are analyzed on our French servers, nowhere else.
What is Apache Tika?
Apache Tika is a toolkit that detects and extracts metadata and structured text from over a thousand file types (PPT, XLS, PDF, emails, images, archives…). All these formats are processed via a single interface, making Tika valuable for search engine indexing, content analysis, or data preparation.
Written in Java and backed by the Apache Foundation, Tika provides a library, as well as server and command-line editions usable from other languages. The server mode exposes a REST API that is easy to integrate into Python, PHP, Node, or Java pipelines.
Beyond extraction, Tika offers language detection, standardized metadata extraction, and, via Tesseract, OCR on images and scanned documents — an ideal foundation for full-text indexing and feeding RAG systems.

Technical details
You might be wondering…
What formats can Tika process?
Over a thousand: PDFs, Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), emails, web formats, images, archives… all via a single text and metadata extraction interface.
Can Tika read scanned documents?
Yes, with OCR (Tesseract) enabled: Tika extracts text from scanned PDFs and images. This option is available depending on the chosen plan.
Where is the data hosted?
On DINAO's infrastructure in France, in one of the available data centers. Your documents are processed locally and do not leave the country.
Do I need technical skills?
To integrate the API into your pipelines, yes: Tika is an extraction service intended for applications. DINAO handles installation, server management, security, and updates.
Are my documents retained after extraction?
Not by default: Tika extracts content on the fly and does not permanently store your files. Any retention period is defined with you.
