Testing and transparency
How Doc2Excel evaluates extraction quality
Document quality varies too much for one universal accuracy percentage to be honest. The safer standard is a repeatable review process that makes errors visible before export.

The six checks
Row coverage
Compare the extracted first and last transaction rows with the source and inspect gaps across page boundaries.
Column alignment
Confirm dates, descriptions, debits, credits, amounts, and balances remain attached to the correct rows.
Noise removal
Check that page headers, footers, opening balances, and statement summaries are not mistaken for transactions.
Amount signs
Verify withdrawals, deposits, charges, payments, and credits use the sign convention expected by the selected export.
Reconciliation
When balances are available, compare the cleaned activity and ending balance with the source statement.
Export integrity
Open the generated Excel or CSV file and confirm headers, numeric cells, dates, and row counts remain usable.
Known difficult inputs
Password-protected files, handwriting, very low-resolution scans, overlapping stamps, inconsistent multi-page layouts, and documents with several unrelated tables may require advanced extraction or manual correction. Low confidence is a review signal, not a guarantee that advanced processing will repair every row.
Standard extraction
Best for native PDFs and documents with a usable text layer. It is tried first and remains free so clean documents do not require paid AI processing.
Advanced extraction
Used for scans, broken text layers, and low-confidence rows. Credits are charged only when the advanced result completes successfully; the standard result is preserved when available.
