Statement converter
Scanned bank statements are not supported yet
A wrong digit in a balance is worse than a clear refusal. Northline does not guess at photographs or scans. If the PDF has no text layer, you get a specific message and the file is not charged.
How to tell
Open the PDF and try to select a transaction description with the mouse. If the letters highlight, it is a digital statement and you can convert it. If the page is a picture, selection does nothing, and OCR would be required. Phone photos, cam-scanner apps, and many statements that were printed and then scanned fall into that second group.
What to do instead
Sign in to the bank and download the PDF statement. Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi, Capital One, and American Express all provide a text PDF in online banking or the card site. That is the file to drop here. A mailed statement can still be the source of the numbers you type, but we will not read the image of it.
If your institution only gives you paper, the generic reader cannot help until there is text. We would rather tell you that than hand you a spreadsheet that looks complete and is off by a decimal.
Questions
Will OCR be added?
Not in this version. The product checks balances because the digits have to be right. OCR stays out until it can be checked the same way.
