Most tools optimize for speed and confidence scores. NovaConvert optimizes for correctness — the only metric that matters when your books are on the line.
See how NovaConvert compares to popular document extraction tools.
The problem with document extraction
Every document extraction tool promises fast, accurate results. But speed and accuracy scores don't tell you what matters most: whether the numbers will reconcile.
Silent errors — decimal shifts, missing rows, swapped debits/credits — pass OCR checks undetected. They surface later as reconciliation breaks, close delays, or audit findings.
Most tools treat reconciliation as an afterthought. NovaConvert treats it as the primary constraint.

What you're comparing against
Accounting Add-ons
Hubdoc, Dext, AutoEntry — OCR + heuristics extraction for accounting platforms. No deterministic reconciliation. Silent errors propagate downstream.
Generic PDF Tools
Adobe Acrobat, Smallpdf, Tabula — extract shapes, not meaning. No transaction semantics. No audit awareness.
AI / ML Platforms
Google Document AI, Amazon Textract, Rossum — optimized for recall, not correctness. Silent hallucinations. No financial invariants.
DIY Scripts
Custom Python / Excel workflows — built from distrust of OCR and fear of silent errors. Slow, fragile, and hard to maintain.
Why NovaConvert wins
✓ Proves correctness before export — not after
✓ Detects when AI is wrong using accounting invariants
✓ Uses AI under constraint, not blind trust
✓ Extends reconciliation to the document edge

NovaConvert doesn't just extract statements — it tells you when they're wrong before you post them.
