Handwriting in, a spreadsheet out.
Mileage logs, tip sheets, a landlord's rent ledger, the back-of-envelope total — photographed and transcribed literally into rows you can actually use, with every ambiguous digit flagged instead of picked.

The ledger that only its author can read
Small-business and Schedule C clients still keep real records by hand: a mileage notebook, a tip log, a cash ledger. They are legitimate records, and they are the slowest thing on your desk to get into a spreadsheet.
Tax Doc Scanner reads handwriting the way you'd want a careful assistant to: it writes down exactly what it sees, keeps the rows and columns as the author laid them out, and tells you which digits it couldn't settle — a 1 or a 7, a 3 or an 8 — rather than quietly choosing.
What was written, not what was meant
Rows stay rows, columns stay columns, and crossed-out entries stay crossed out. Nothing is "tidied", because tidying is where errors hide.
- Preserves table structure from the page
- Struck-through and corrected entries noted
- Dates and amounts kept as written
It admits what it can't read
An illegible digit comes back flagged with the candidates it was choosing between. A missing value costs you a minute with the original; an invented one costs an amended return.
- Per-value flags with candidate readings
- Overall legibility reported per scan
- Nothing is guessed to look complete
Shot on a phone, at the client's kitchen table
Open the scan page on your phone, photograph each page of the notebook, and the results are waiting when you're back at your desk — or hand the client a drop-off link so they photograph it themselves.
- Camera capture from the browser, no app
- Client drop-off links for teams
- CSV or JSON output per page
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is handwriting transcription?
Neat block capitals and digits transcribe very well; cursive and cramped entries less so. The point is not perfection but honesty: the scan reports its own confidence and flags the specific values it couldn't settle, so you check those and trust the rest.
Will it sum a mileage log or a tip sheet for me?
No — by design it never computes. You get the rows as written and any total the author wrote; summing happens in your spreadsheet where you can see every row that feeds it.
Is my client's handwritten data stored?
Personal accounts keep nothing after the result is returned. Organizations can turn on encrypted storage with a retention window so the team can come back to a document, and it is shredded when the window closes.
