What you might want to change
Start with a specific gap in your current workflow. Extract configured account, period, balance and transaction fields from representative supported statements for reviewed JSON or spreadsheet workflows.
Statement OCR is a candidate for that job, rather than a promise to reproduce every Dext feature.
The tradeoffs of switching
| Question | Before switching |
|---|---|
| What works today? | Statement extraction for bookkeeping |
| What could improve? | Extract configured account, period, balance and transaction fields from representative supported statements for reviewed JSON or spreadsheet workflows. |
| What might be lost? | Test each bank and account layout, verify transactions and reconcile balances. Signals do not independently verify ownership, income, cash flow or creditworthiness. Confirm financial-data controls. |
| What needs checking? | Reconcile full transaction counts, signs and balances on your banks; keep existing independent verification controls. |
How to evaluate a switch
- List the Dext features, records, integrations, and review steps you currently depend on.
- Check whether Statement OCR covers each essential requirement. Verify supported inputs and outputs before moving real work.
- Run a permitted representative task through the candidate workflow. Compare the usable result and the exception handling, rather than assuming a vendor promise proves performance.
- Keep source records and any needed exports. Confirm cancellation, retention, current pricing, and access rules before changing a contract.
Reconcile full transaction counts, signs and balances on your banks; keep existing independent verification controls.
