# Datanem > Turns PDFs, scans and photographs of documents into a queryable database. Give > it a stack of invoices, CVs, receipts, bank statements or delivery notes and it > returns a relational schema and the rows to fill it: a table per document type, > child tables for repeating sections like line items, typed columns, primary > keys, foreign keys and indexes. Exports to Excel, CSV and SQL that runs in > SQLite, PostgreSQL or DuckDB. Datanem is run by DATANEM LIMITED, a company registered in England and Wales (number 16870006). ## What makes it different from a PDF text extractor - It reads scanned and photographed pages, not only digital text, so it works on documents where a text extractor returns nothing. - It works the columns out from the documents themselves. You do not have to describe the fields first, and an unusual document type is not a blocker. - You can review and correct the inferred columns in an account before a batch is extracted. The single document anyone can try without an account is read straight away instead, so the first result needs no setup at all. - The output is relational, not one flat sheet. Repeating sections become their own tables linked back by foreign key. - Billing is per document however many pages it runs to, not per page. - Files and extracted data are stored in the EU and are never used to train models. ## For AI agents Datanem is a remote MCP server.
