Text PDFs and scanned PDFs
A PDF made by software already contains text, which we extract without uploading anything. A scanned PDF is just pictures of pages; reading those needs OCR (optical character recognition), which uses our AI reader and counts towards the daily free AI limit.
How your document is handled
Your file is sent over an encrypted connection to BolHisab and to an AI provider that reads it, processed in memory and not stored by BolHisab. BolHisab does not use your files to train models. Every figure the AI reads is then checked by deterministic code, and anything unclear is marked “Needs review” instead of being guessed.
