Why this feature exists
Small business data often arrives outside Excel: WhatsApp orders, screenshots, invoice photos, copied bills and PDF invoices. If users manually retype those rows, mistakes creep in before the workbook even starts.
Approach
How WorkbookWise handles it
Capture To Excel treats every source as an extraction workflow. The user chooses text, image or PDF, WorkbookWise extracts structured rows, marks confidence, shows the source beside the result, and lets the user review before download or save.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions

Paste text, PNG/JPG/WebP images and readable PDF invoices or bills are supported with current file limits.
Does it save raw extracted data automatically?

Can I add captured rows to an existing workbook?
Yes. WorkbookWise appends a reviewed Captured Rows sheet to a selected saved workbook.

They are labeled Review or Unclear and remain editable before output.
