Reading Financial Statements at Scale

Analysts don't read one financial statement at a time. They compare dozens—sometimes hundreds—looking for patterns, anomalies, and insights that drive investment decisions.

Traditional OCR struggles here. Financial tables with merged cells, multi-line headers, and varied formatting produce garbled output that requires extensive cleanup.

AI That Understands Financial Context

It understands that "Total Revenue" and "Net Sales" often mean the same thing. It can handle European number formatting (1.234,56 vs 1,234.56). It knows that numbers in parentheses typically indicate negative values.

This is financial literacy, not just character recognition.
