    Can we set up our form so that the first question allows someone to upload their resume, and then automatically fill in the required fields on the form using the information from their resume?

    Hi Ashely,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. While the feature you're looking for isn't available at Jotform right now, we've gone ahead and escalated your request to our developers. Exactly when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know. In the meantime, you can check out our Spreadsheet to Form widget, which can help your form filler to fill out the form automatically.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.

    Hi,

    Great news, we've implemented the OCR Autofill widget you asked for. This widget lets respondents take a photo or upload a file, then uses AI to extract matching details and populate supported fields automatically. Additionally, adding it to your form takes just a few seconds.

    Open the Form Builder and follow these steps:

    1. Click Add Element on the left panel.

    2. Navigate to the Widgets tab.

    3. Search for OCR Autofill.

    4. Click the widget to add it to your form automatically.

    • You can find the widget directly from the Widgets search panel:

    • Once added, the OCR Autofill widget can sit alongside regular form fields. In this example, it is used in a sample Business Card Registration form with fields such as Full Name, Company, Email Address, and Phone Number.

    • In preview mode, a sample business card image is uploaded, and the OCR Autofill widget extracts the relevant contact details and fills the matching form fields automatically:

    We hope the OCR Autofill widget proves useful for your forms. We’d appreciate any feedback from users after trying it out, especially regarding supported document types, extracted field accuracy, and any additional use cases they would like to see supported.

    Best,
