Will OCR correctly extract dollar amounts and account numbers from bank statements?

Yes, for clean high-quality scans. Numeric values are extracted as plain text. Since formatting is not preserved, columns won't be aligned, but the figures and labels appear in reading order.

Can I process a full year's worth of scanned invoices in one batch?

You can upload up to 50 PDFs per batch with a 2 GB total batch limit. For larger volumes, run multiple batches sequentially.

Does OCR work on scanned IRS or state tax forms?

Standard typed tax forms scan well and produce reliable OCR output. Accuracy depends on scan quality — forms scanned clearly at 300 DPI or higher will yield clean text.

Is the extracted text formatted as a table or raw text?

Output is raw plain text. Tables and columns are not preserved in their visual structure. The text reflects reading order across the page, which may require further parsing for structured data.

Pull Text from Scanned Invoices and Financial Statements

Scanned bank statements, paper invoices, and legacy financial records can't be searched, copied, or imported into accounting software until the text is extracted. Deliteful's PDF OCR → Text tool converts scanned financial PDFs into plain text files ready for reconciliation, audit prep, or data entry.

Accountants handling older clients or paper-heavy industries frequently receive boxes of scanned records — bank statements from closed accounts, paper receipts converted to PDF, or legacy tax filings. Manually transcribing figures introduces error and wastes time that should go toward analysis. OCR converts those scans to raw text so amounts, dates, and account numbers can be extracted, searched, or imported programmatically.

Deliteful returns one .txt file per input PDF. The text is unformatted — tables and columns will not retain their visual alignment — but all numeric values and labels are extracted in reading order. For structured data extraction from statements, this plain text serves as the input for further parsing scripts or manual copy-paste into spreadsheets.
