Frequently asked questions
- How accurately does WhiskFile extract tables from financial PDFs?
- For text-based PDFs (digitally created, not scanned), table extraction accuracy is very high — typically 90%+. For scanned statements, enable OCR first to add a text layer, then extract. Complex merged cells or multi-row headers may require manual cleanup.
- Can I process multiple PDF statements at once?
- Batch processing is available on the Pro plan. Free plan users process one file at a time. The merge tool can combine up to 20 files at once on the free plan.
- Is client financial data secure on WhiskFile?
- Files are encrypted in transit (HTTPS), processed on secure servers, and automatically deleted after 1 hour. No data is retained or shared. For clients with strict data residency requirements, consult your compliance team.
