ext Recognition & PDF Tools

PDFify creates searchable PDF with fast and reliable OCR that supports more than 100 languages!

Not only existing PDFs can be processed, but also images, scans, screenshots, e-mails, web pages and more. Just drag and drop your files onto PDFify and the rest is done automatically.

Besides the well-proven text recognition of Tesseract, Apple's integrated text recognition is supported alternatively. Find your personal favorite.

Powerful features make it easy to add new pages to your PDF:

• Create screenshots directly from the app.
• Use your iPhone or iPad as a scanner (Continuity Camera).
• The app offers its own great scanner dialog.
• Choose PDFify as the destination for your ScanSnap scans.
• Paste pages directly from the clipboard.

Other useful functions make working with PDF better:

• Let the computer read aloud content.
• Reduce the size of the PDF file (Squeeze).

Scan documents, organize by category, date, or payment status, set payment reminders, and export flexibly. All-in-one finance management, right on your Mac.

Simple import options

Drag and drop docs or folders to the Receipts window—from images to web pages, the app will convert anything you import into PDF. Or, use a file dialog or an import button for a quick upload. Thanks to a document scanner support, Receipts also recognizes scanned docs.

Advanced content recognition

Receipts sees through the contents of your docs. The app automatically extracts values like document date, bank connection as well as total and tax amount. Not only does it read your receipts, Receipts also studies connections between documents to assign corresponding contacts.

Extended Mail Support

It is now possible to drag multiple messages from Apple Mail to Receipts, letting the files drop either on the window or the dock icon.

Receipts will then look out if the mail contains a PDF attachment and import that. If there is no PDF attached the mail message body will be converted to PDF instead, this is expecially useful for invoices e.g. from Apple iTunes or Google Play.

But last but not least it is possible to create Mail Rules in Apple Mail and send the matched mails to Receipts by choosing the "Send to Receipts" AppleScript action in the rule definition. Now your periodical invoices get into Receipts automatically the moment they arrive.

Please take a look at this YouTube Video showing an example.
