Reviews
Algodocs reviews
Tony
“Liked the intuitive web interface, email import, flexible annual credits, webhooks for Make.com automation, fair cost, and support. Found that support requests must go through the website contact form instead of the app.”
Eric
“Liked defining extraction rules for PDFs and processing many similar documents, which saved significant time. Found that complex cases would benefit from entering search values directly in the recognition module.”
Verified Reviewer
“Liked the responsive, helpful support during setup and testing of extraction. Found the AI capability limited and wanted it to learn from manual corrections for future conversions.”
Sven
“Liked how quick and easy it was to get started, with fast onboarding for scanning handwritten PDFs. Found the file upload part of the interface somewhat counterintuitive.”
Logen
“Liked the strong transcription of illegible handwriting and the several customer support options. Found it not very intuitive without tutorials, though easier to use after watching them.”
Amit
“Liked how easy it was to customize and the useful handwriting recognition. Found that the handwriting recognition still needs considerable improvement for harder documents.”
Martha
“Liked the accurate capture of scanned PDFs, a clear demo, and support that configured a filter the same day. Found that some advanced filters lack video or written guides.”
Amy
“Liked the simple format, quick learning, and time saved on data entry into accountancy software. Found no demo mode for practicing extractor setup without spending credits.”
Paul
“Liked how well it extracted usable data from semi-complex, poorly laid-out invoices compared with OCR and another tool. Found the interface functional rather than contemporary, a minor issue.”
