If a transaction description on your Saarländische Investitionskreditbank statement is long enough to wrap across two or three lines, it still needs to land in a single row once converted. When transaction descriptions stretch across several lines, the text can easily break into separate cells or merge with the next row during a manual copy. The extraction engine reads the full block of text that belongs to a single transaction and keeps it together. It recognises where the narrative ends and the next numeric field begins, so a long description stays in its assigned cell without splitting or shifting the columns that follow.
When your Saarländische Investitionskreditbank 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. A scanned or photographed statement introduces noise: skewed text, uneven lighting, marks that overlap the numbers. The engine reads these images with OCR and then runs the same verification it applies to clean digital files. It checks the printed running balance line by line against the transaction amounts it has read. If a smudge turns an 8 into a 3, the balance stops adding up and the row is flagged for review, while the rest of the statement continues to process.
