What it does
This tool reads the text in a JPG photo and gives it back as an Excel workbook. Tables found on the page are written into worksheets so you can sort, total and check the figures. Running text outside tables is not part of the workbook. JPG files are usually phone photos of paper. Hold the phone straight above the page, use even light without shadows and keep the whole page in the frame. Heavy compression and blur make characters harder to read.
When to use it
Pick this for phone photos of receipts, price lists, timetables or printed tables that you want in a spreadsheet. It is handy for expense tracking and for small businesses that get paper price lists from suppliers.

Before you start
Non-tabular prose is not a workbook table. Verify totals, decimal separators and merged cells; formulas are not restored. Proofread names and numbers; handwriting is best-effort.
Photograph long receipts in sections if the text gets too small to read on your screen. Each photo is recognised on its own. Recognition is never perfect. Names, amounts and dates deserve a careful check, and handwriting is read on a best-effort basis. Select every language on the page so the right characters are expected.

Common questions
Can it read a crumpled receipt?
Flatten it first if you can. Folds and creases cast shadows that break up the characters and the table lines.
Will a phone photo work?
Yes, if it is sharp and taken straight on. Tilted pages and shadows cause most of the errors.
Will totals be recalculated?
No formulas are recreated. You get the values as read, so add formulas yourself and compare totals with the page.
Which languages can it read?
Choose the languages from the list before you start. Recognition works best when every language on the page is selected.
