Prepare the source and define the result
List expected columns, types and totals. Mark columns where leading zeros matter and keep the source beside the grid.
Set acceptance criteria before processing: expected pages or records, languages, critical fields and destination format.
Use a reviewable OCR workflow
Flag inconsistent types, shifted rows and uncertain characters. Check headers first because one boundary error can shift every row.
Keep recognition evidence beside the source. Confidence prioritizes review but does not guarantee a word or number.
Verify before using the output
Recalculate totals, compare record counts and sample beginning, middle and end. Resolve warnings in material columns.
Keep the original until the reviewed derivative is accepted. Valid structure does not prove semantic accuracy.
- Formatting can hide text-stored numbers.
- A clean grid can still contain semantic shifts.
Put the workflow into practice
Arrange source documents, select the pages you need, and create one PDF locally in your browser. Review the result before choosing any optional next step.
