Office document processing

Speedwave includes an embedded office processing worker capable of inspecting, modifying, and generating Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx), and PDF files directly within your workspace directory without requiring external cloud subscriptions.

This capability is available in beta: enable Beta features in the Desktop tray menu, then toggle Office documents in project settings.

Document processing capabilities

Speedwave processes structured business documents programmatically:

• Contract and report inspection: Extract and summarize structured text, tables, and document hierarchies.
• Spreadsheet manipulation: Recompute formulas, restructure data worksheets, and inject native Office charts.
• Presentation generation: Transform raw specifications into structured presentation decks.
• PDF utilities: Merge, split, and extract digital text layers from PDF files.

Note

The office worker reads digital text layers within PDFs. Scanned documents requiring optical character recognition (OCR) are outside its operational scope.

Security boundaries and data locality

The office document worker executes in a hardened container with zero external network routes. Generated documents are saved to dedicated directories within your project workspace (.speedwave/office/), ensuring all document processing remains strictly local.
