How much time does untxt. save?
The time goes where the manual work goes: sorting the pile, splitting files, keying fields, and checking what you keyed. untxt. removes that and leaves you the review. How much you get back scales with how many documents you process, so the heaviest months save the most.
Where the hours actually go
The clock does not run on the bookkeeping. It runs on the prep: opening files, sorting the pile, splitting bundled PDFs, keying fields, and re-checking the keying. That is the part that eats the day, and it is the part untxt. takes.
What untxt. removes, and what is left
untxt. reads, splits, sorts, extracts, and maps the batch, then hands you a review queue. The manual hours collapse into a single review pass: confirm the high-confidence documents, fix the flagged ones, push to QuickBooks or Xero. You move from doing the work to approving it.
It scales with volume, not effort
The savings track document count, not your hours: a 40-document month and a 400-document month are both a review pass, not ten times the labor. The more you process, the more of the manual baseline disappears.
Month-end stops being a wall
The crunch is usually the backlog of unprocessed documents all hitting at once. Running the pile through as it arrives, instead of hoarding it for month-end, turns the close from a reconstruction job into a review.
What still takes your time
Review does not vanish, and it should not. Low-confidence documents, handwriting, and the account calls that depend on context untxt. cannot see still need you. Your time goes to judgment, not data entry.
