Dext

Clients photograph a receipt or forward an invoice by email, and Dext reads the supplier, date, amount, and tax. The extracted data syncs to platforms such as Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage, where it becomes a draft transaction ready for review. It can also fetch supplier bills automatically.

Practices use it to collect documents from many clients in one place and spend less time keying numbers. Extraction is good but not perfect, so someone still checks unusual or poorly scanned documents.

Pricing is per plan and client volume, so check the website. Alternatives include AutoEntry, Hubdoc, and Expensify. Dext suits accounting firms and bookkeepers who handle many small documents.
