What kind of PDFs are supported?

Text-based statement PDFs work today — the kind you download directly from your bank. Scanned or photographed statements need OCR, which is coming soon.

Which banks does it work with?

A generic parser handles most common statement layouts. Bank-specific templates for major banks are on the roadmap to push accuracy even higher.

What formats can I export?

Both CSV and Excel (XLSX). Every export reflects any edits you make in the review table.

Can I fix incorrect rows?

Yes. Every extracted row is editable inline before export, and a confidence score flags anything worth a second look.
