From scanned deed to CAD-ready linework.
Upload a deed. Deed Parser reads every call, plots it on real coordinates, and links each line back to the words that made it. Review it, fix anything, and export to CAD or GIS.
The demo opens a sample project with no account. Reading your own deeds needs an account.
Built for surveyors, title examiners, engineers, GIS analysts, landmen, attorneys, and anyone else who plots deeds by hand.
How it works
-
Upload
Drop in a PDF or scan of a typed or typewritten deed. Pick just the pages with the legal description.
-
Read and plot
Deed Parser pulls out every call, including bearings, distances, curves, monuments, and adjoiners, and draws the parcel before you start reviewing. Every number is checked against the page before it's drawn.
-
Review
Tap a line on the map to see its call highlighted on the deed, or tap the words to see the line. Fix anything and the parcel redraws.
-
Place
Set the base point. Let Deed Parser find it from the deed's tie, pick it on the map, or enter coordinates.
-
Export
Download a DXF, point file, spreadsheet, or GeoJSON, and save the project to reopen later.
Made for checking, not just plotting
Every line links to its words
The map, the call list, and the scanned page stay in sync, so checking a deed takes minutes.
Reads the deeds you actually get
Curves, chains, rods, and varas, tie calls, easements, exceptions, multiple tracts, and aliquot parts.
AI reads. Math plots.
AI only reads the deed. Every coordinate comes from standard COGO math, so the same deed gives the same answer every time.
Real coordinates and corrections
Any State Plane or UTM zone, NAD83 or NAD27, combined scale factor, and grid, geodetic, or magnetic basis of bearings, over USGS topo with the PLSS grid.
Closure you can trust
Misclosure, precision ratio, and area sit next to the deed's stated area. Calls are never adjusted to force a closure.
Your work stays yours
Uploads are read and then deleted. Your work lives in a project file you keep, and reopening it is free.
Finds your base point from the deed
Deed Parser reads the deed's tie, like "commencing at the southwest corner of Section 12," and looks up that corner in BLM PLSS data and NGS shared OPUS solutions.
You get a short list of candidates, each with its source, uncertainty, and warnings, and you choose the one to use. You can also upload your own OPUS report or look up an NGS mark by PID.
Candidates are estimates from public data. Nothing becomes your base point until you review its warnings and confirm it.
See it on a real deed
The demo opens a sample project that's already been read and plotted. Tap lines, change the settings, and export a DXF. Tips along the way explain each setting. It's free and uses no credits.
Pay for reads, not seats.
Buy credits once and use them when you need them. Re-runs, edits, exports, and reopening saved projects are always free.
Credits
New accounts start with $5 in free credits.
- One credit reads a deed up to 10 pages, about 10 cents a deed.
- You see the credit cost before a read starts.
- Credits are good for 12 months.
- Failed reads are refunded.
Map grade, not a survey
Deed Parser is a fast, checkable way to draft linework from a deed. It doesn't establish property boundaries, and its results aren't a survey.
- It plots what the deed says. Deeds can have errors, gaps, and calls that disagree, and Deed Parser can't verify them.
- Automated reading can misread a number. Every call links to the page so you can check it.
- Base points, the PLSS grid, monuments, and basemaps come from public sources, and their accuracy varies.
- Base point candidates come from public BLM and NGS data that you choose to use. A monument may be restored, replaced, or a witness corner, and sources can disagree.
- Your settings, such as the base point, basis of bearings, and scale factor, move the result.
For boundaries, setbacks, encroachments, construction, sales, or disputes, hire a land surveyor licensed in your state.

Questions people ask
Does it replace a surveyor?
No. It removes the typing and the arithmetic. A person still reviews every call, and boundary decisions belong to a licensed surveyor.
Can it read old deeds?
Yes, typed and typewritten ones, including old scans. Faint or damaged scans read less reliably, which is why every number is checked against the page and flagged when it doesn't match. Handwritten deeds aren't supported yet.
What if the description doesn't close?
You see the misclosure and precision ratio. Check the flagged calls, fix any misreads, and it redraws.
How does it find the base point?
It reads the deed's tie and looks up that corner in BLM PLSS data and NGS shared OPUS solutions. You see each candidate's source, uncertainty, and warnings, and you decide which one to use. If the tie isn't a PLSS corner or an NGS mark, you can pick the point on the map or enter coordinates.
What does a credit cover?
Reading one deed up to 10 pages. Longer deeds use one more credit per 10 pages, and you see the cost before the read starts.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in your browser on a phone, tablet, or computer.
Can my office share projects?
Yes. Save the project file to a shared drive, and anyone with Deed Parser can open it.
Where do my deeds go?
Deed Parser deletes each upload as soon as it's read and keeps your work only in the project file you save. To be read, the deed goes to Google Document AI for text recognition, which processes it without saving it, and to Anthropic's Claude to read the calls, which deletes it automatically within 30 days. Neither uses it to train models.
