When your Bank für Kirche und Diakonie statement arrives as a scan or a photo of the page rather than a clean export, the numbers on it are just pixels until they are extracted. Scanned and photographed documents arrive as a flat image, not a data table. The engine applies optical character recognition to locate the table of transactions, then reads each row, column by column. Date, narrative, debit, credit, and the printed running balance are extracted in the order they appear on the page. A smudged digit or a skewed photograph can produce a misread, so every column is parsed individually rather than relying on a single template match.
Whatever the running balance looks like on your Bank für Kirche und Diakonie statement, Convert·Into checks it against the statement's own printed closing figure before you export anything. Every statement the engine processes is checked against its own printed closing balance. The extracted running-balance column is verified line by line from the opening figure through to the final entry. If a row breaks the chain, the conversion does not stop: the suspect row is flagged for review, and the rest of the file finishes cleanly. You inspect the flagged row, correct anything the scan misread, and proceed with a reconciled export.
