Multiple ways to collect client expense and invoice records
Upload
If you like to keep things simple, you can upload items directly from your computer. Select a file or drag & drop. We’ll let you know when the item has been uploaded.
Invoices can be emailed to a dedicated address for easy submission. Dext reads the text and delivers the data you need directly to your accounting software.
Invoice fetch
Dext can automatically fetch invoices and bills from authorised suppliers. Weekly checks save time and ensure you get the invoices you need to complete clients’ bookkeeping.
Bank feeds
With Dext, you can set up a live feed to your clients’ bank accounts. It means you can instantly compare submitted invoices and expenses against actual bank transactions.
Bank statements
Take the hassle out of getting the information you need from clients’ PDF bank statements. They simply upload them to Dext and we’ll extract what you need
See a client's documents arrive. Then see what reaches your ledger.
A short tour of capture across mobile, email, desktop and bank feeds, and the structured records that come out the other end. Watch the product tour.
The documents turn up on their own. Your team stops asking.
No reminder before the deadline, no second request for the one statement still missing. Clients submit as they go, and what arrives is already structured and matched to the right supplier — so the work in front of your team is for review rather than repair.
Phone, email, WhatsApp or desktop. Dext takes whichever they pick.
A client photographs a receipt on the way out of the shop. Another forwards supplier invoices to a dedicated address without thinking about it. Whichever route a document takes, it arrives read to the line at over 99% accuracy and ready for the accounting software you already use.

Data capture software FAQs
Data capture software collects the invoices, receipts and statements a business produces and turns them into structured records — supplier, date, amount, tax and line detail — without anyone re-entering them by hand. Dext does more than read a document. It categorises what it reads, applies the rules your practice has set, and delivers the record to the accounting software you already use at over 99% accuracy.
Clients photograph them in the Dext app, forward them to a dedicated email address, send them by WhatsApp, or drop them in from a desktop. Dext reads each one, pulls out the supplier, date, totals and line detail, and publishes it where your ledger expects it.
Yes. Dext's models were built on over 2 billion accounting documents, so they cope with the ordinary invoice and the awkward one — crumpled, handwritten, several pages long. The intelligent automation does the repetitive work and your expertise decides what gets applied.
Accuracy first, including on handwritten and crumpled documents, because a correction costs a practice more time than the capture ever saved. Then coverage past capture itself — categorisation, duplicate detection and publishing — so a document does not stop halfway. And finally fit, so the software works the way your practice and your clients already work rather than the other way around. Dext extracts at over 99% accuracy, on the tidy documents and the ones that have been in a coat pocket for a month.
Over 99% across the fields that matter: date, amount, supplier, tax, currency and invoice number. The models are retrained continuously on accounting documents rather than general text, which is why the accuracy compounds instead of plateauing.
Yes. Documents are encrypted, held in Vault, our intelligent document storage, and kept audit-ready with the evidence attached to the record it belongs to. Dext is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, and all customer data is stored in the EU.
