  • Reviewable outputs with confidence signals on extracted fields.
  • Rules engine catches logic errors (e.g., sums don't match).
  • Human-in-the-loop review mode available.

Details on security, file handling, and accounting exports.

File Compatibility

We accept native PDFs, scanned images (JPG/PNG/TIFF), and Excel files. Scanned or handwritten documents should be reviewed before export.

Multi-Page Statements

PDF2TEXT prepares cross-page statement tables for review. Check continuation rows and repeated headers against the source before export.

Data Security

Original files and results are retained in your private workspace so you can review and export them. Access requires the owning session or account, and transport uses HTTPS. Contact support to request deletion.

Accounting Exports
