Invoice capture software that reads every line. So you don't have to.
Drag a whole folder in from your Windows desktop, forward an invoice from your inbox, or snap one on the companion app. Dext Desktop reads each one at over 99% accuracy and passes clean, structured data to the accounting software you already use. Fewer errors, less admin, and books that are current, rather than catching up.
Multiple ways to
collect what you need
- Mobile
- Upload
- Invoice fetch
Mobile
You can quickly and easily scan receipts and invoices with our Dext Desktop companion app. Snap a photo and press submit. Dext then extracts the data you need automatically. No more crumpled paper and lost receipts.
Upload
If you like to keep things simple, you can upload items directly from your computer. Select a file or drag & drop. We’ll let you know when the item has been uploaded.
Invoice fetch
Dext can automatically fetch invoices and bills from authorised suppliers. Weekly checks save time and ensure you get the invoices you need to complete clients’ bookkeeping.
Receipts and nvoices can be emailed to a dedicated address for easy submission. Dext reads the text and delivers the data you need directly to your accounting software.
Four ways to get a document in.
One place it ends up.
However the document arrives, Dext takes it. Even crumpled.
Use the companion receipt scanner, forward from your inbox, or drag files in from your Windows desktop. Dext captures and organises each one in seconds, ready for your accounting software — so there is no supplier to chase and no pile on the desk waiting for a quiet afternoon.
Line items, split out for you. Down to the tax code.
Splitting a long invoice by hand is slow work and easy to get wrong. Dext's invoice scanning software reads supplier, date, tax and total — and every line in between — at over 99% accuracy. What lands in your books is complete and audit-ready, with nobody retyping anything.
Categorise a supplier once. Dext remembers from then on.
Dext picks up how you treat suppliers, payment methods and tax codes, then applies those rules for you. Duplicates get flagged before they reach the ledger, and the models sharpen the longer you use them. Anything Dext is unsure of comes to you first.
No hunt for the missing invoice. It went in months ago.
Every receipt, invoice and document is captured and stored securely in Dext, so an accurate view of your numbers is always one search away. Tax time becomes a matter of checking the books rather than reconstructing them.
