Extend gives engineers document pipeline infrastructure. Roysa gives every reviewer word-level proof — across documents, images, audio, and video.
Extend builds document processing infrastructure for AI agents — parsing, extraction, and splitting APIs with a Studio for schema iteration, evals, and human-in-the-loop review. Roysa TrueTrace goes after the same hard documents, but is built for the people who have to trust the output: every answer is grounded at the word level, including on scanned paper, and the same platform covers images, audio, and video.
| Roysa TrueTrace | Extend | |
|---|---|---|
| Modalities | Documents, images, audio, and video — one platform, one credit balance | Documents |
| Source grounding | Word-level bounding boxes on every answer — including scanned documents — plus objects in photos, on-screen text, and audio/video timestamps | Confidence scoring to flag uncertain outputs |
| Object detection | People, vehicles, equipment, signatures, stamps, damage, and safety gear in images and video frames | — |
| Audio & video | Transcription with speaker labels and timestamps, on-screen text reading, scene and object recognition | Not supported |
| Review & QA | Plain-English rule checklists — pass/fail with the exact word, object, or moment as proof | Studio with evals and human-in-the-loop review for pipeline outputs |
| Who can use it | Business teams in the TrueTrace web workspace — plus developers via REST API and MCP server | Engineering teams via API and Python/TypeScript SDKs; Studio for domain experts |
| Getting started | Self-serve: 100 free credits, 14-day trial, public pricing | Free trial; sales-led pricing |

A confidence score tells you how sure the model is. A word-level bounding box shows you exactly where the answer came from. TrueTrace gives you both — every extracted value carries a confidence score and a pinpoint on the exact word, stamp, or signature, even in scanned documents — so review takes a glance instead of a re-read.
Extend processes documents. TrueTrace processes the whole case file: documents, photos (with object detection for vehicles, equipment, signatures, damage, and safety gear), audio recordings, and video — all billed from one credit balance and verified the same way.
Roysa's pricing is public and self-serve: sign up, get 100 free credits, and process your first file in minutes — no demo call required. The REST API and MCP server use the same credits at a discounted rate.
If your engineering team is standing up a production document pipeline and wants deep eval tooling, schema iteration workflows, and managed human-review loops around it, Extend is purpose-built for that. Roysa is the better fit when the people consuming answers are business reviewers, when your files include audio or video, or when you need word-level visual proof on every value.
Yes, for teams that want verified answers from their files rather than infrastructure for building pipelines. TrueTrace extracts, reviews, transcribes, and translates documents, images, audio, and video — grounding every answer at the word level — and is usable from day one through its web workspace or REST API.
Grounding and modality. TrueTrace pins every answer to a word-level bounding box — even on scanned documents — and processes audio and video alongside documents. Extend focuses on document parsing and extraction infrastructure with confidence scoring and eval tooling for engineering teams.
No. Business users upload files and ask in plain English in the TrueTrace workspace; TrueTrace picks the right skill automatically. Developers can integrate the same skills through the REST API and MCP server whenever they're ready.
Upload a document, image, audio, or video file and watch every answer point to its exact source.
