CHECKS TO EXCEL AND CSV

Scanned checks to a spreadsheet,
every amount checked twice.

ZeraBooks Convert turns PDFs and scans of written checks into spreadsheet rows: check number, date, payee, memo, amount, bank and account. Every check carries its amount twice, in figures and in words, and Convert compares the two on each check, so a misread amount is flagged before you download Excel or CSV.

7-day free trial · 1,000 pages a month from $79/month billed annually

Every document type on its own page.

HOW IT WORKS

Many checks in one PDF. One row each.

WHAT’S READ

Everything on the check.

For each check: the check number, date, payee, memo and amount; the amount written in words; and the bank, the payer and the last 4 digits of the account it’s written on. One PDF can hold many checks, grouped by the account they’re written on.

How Convert reads checks
Converted checks with check number, date, payee, memo and amount, and the amount in words matched to the figures on every check.

WORDS VS FIGURES

The amount, proven by the check itself.

Convert compares the amount in figures with the amount in words on every check. When they all match, the document is Proven with the number of checks and their total. When one doesn’t, it names the check and both amounts so you can fix it.

Try it on your own documents. One-week free trial, both apps included.

QUESTIONS

Check converter: common questions

Ask Damin directly
Can I scan paper checks?

Yes, as long as the scan is saved as a PDF. Convert accepts PDFs only, up to 50 MB each.

What does the check converter extract?

Check number, date, payee, memo, amount, the amount in words, and the bank, payer and last 4 digits of the account.

How does it know the amount is right?

Every check prints its amount in figures and in words. Convert compares the two and flags any check where they disagree or the words can’t be read.

Does it read deposited check images from a bank statement?

Upload the PDF on the Checks page; Convert reads the written checks it finds. If no checks are found, it says so.
