OCR is intended for printed English and depends on scan quality; handwriting recognition is not guaranteed. Bank statement extraction requires your review and does not support every layout. Search-based redaction removes whole selected lines and cannot detect sensitive content that exists only in images. Review each exported document before sharing.
