Digital billing captures, dashboard tables, and confidential in-browser OCR
Administrative staff frequently receive vendor statements, inventory charts, or payroll breakdowns trapped inside image files that require manual data entry. This utility uses Tesseract OCR directly inside your browser session to extract text and figures from your images, keeping confidential customer records and internal financial statements securely on your workstation. The output is a standard .xlsx workbook with a single Sheet1 tab that opens in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and Apple Numbers.
The reconstruction routine determines table cells based on character spatial coordinates. Words sitting on the same horizontal baseline form an individual row, while gaps between words wider than about one letter height create new cell divisions. Cells that line up vertically across adjacent rows are assembled into shared columns, accommodating right-aligned numbers cleanly, while standalone report titles spanning a single line remain in column A.
Number formatting, language options, and table structure boundaries
Currencies formatted like 1,234.50, parenthetical deductions like (45), negative figures like -12, and percentages like 12% are saved as real numbers, allowing SUM formulas to calculate totals, while codes like 0042 stay stored as text. This behavior is controlled by the "Store numbers as numbers" option, which you can uncheck to retain raw text across every cell. On-demand language files under "Language of the text" support German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Indonesian, Polish, Turkish, and Vietnamese with a single initial download.
To clarify characters on smaller graphics under 1200 pixels on the long side, the engine automatically doubles the image size before scanning. Note that this tool transfers plain textual data only; decorative borders, cell colors, merged headers, formulas, and custom fonts are not reproduced, and lines of text wrapped inside one cell become separate rows. Because OCR can occasionally mistake characters like 0 for O or 1 for l, always verify totals against your source graphic. For processing text-based PDF reports, use PDF to Excel.
Questions
Are company payroll records or client invoices sent across the internet?
No. All optical recognition runs locally inside your web browser, ensuring private workplace paperwork never leaves your device.
Can I perform arithmetic calculations immediately in the exported spreadsheet?
Yes. With "Store numbers as numbers" enabled, recognized values become real numbers that work with formulas like SUM and AVERAGE.
How does the tool handle table headers that span multiple columns?
Merged header rows are not supported; the tool will place single blocks of header text into column A and arrange lower rows into columns.
