Every figure recovered, and every column made to add up

Financial paper fails in one particular way: thermal print fades to nothing. Docovly recovers the figures, then checks them the way an accountant would - columns are totalled and any line that does not reconcile is flagged.

Condition survey

What goes wrong with these documents

The survey vocabulary is specific to this document family, because the damage is. Recording it is what produces the restoration instruction - there is no prompt box.

  • Thermal receipts faded to blank
  • Dot-matrix statements with dropout
  • Ink smudging and water damage
  • Crumpled and folded receipts
  • Carbon copy voucher fade
  • Torn cheque stubs and counterfoils
How a job runs

Survey, recover, capture, check

Every job follows the same path a records office would, and the console keeps the whole document in view the entire time.

  1. 1

    Survey the batch

    Log thermal fade, dot-matrix dropout, crumpling and water damage across the receipts and statements.

  2. 2

    Recover the print

    Faded thermal and dot-matrix printing is pushed back to readable contrast, and fold shadows that break digits are flattened.

  3. 3

    Capture the figures

    Amounts, dates and references are read into a checked table, with anything unrecoverable withheld rather than guessed.

  4. 4

    Reconcile

    Captured columns are totalled the way an accountant would, and any line that does not add up is flagged.

Treatments

What this console can do to a page

Any treatment can run on a single page or across the whole batch, and each lands as its own revertible version.

Ledger copy

A clean, filing-quality version of the statement or receipt.

Thermal recovery

Pushes faded thermal printing back to readable contrast.

Figure capture

Reads amounts, dates and references into a checked table.

Column reconciliation

Totals the captured lines and flags what does not add up.

Crease flattening

Removes fold shadows that break digit shapes.

Detail recovery

Resolution for audit packs and printed exhibits.

The console in motion

Every treatment, shown happening

No sliders to drag - each clip is the fix itself, playing on a loop. The faded text rising back, the streak sweeping off, the boundary closing to zero.

Thermal recovery

A blank receipt brought back to a total

A thermal receipt faded to nothing, pushed back to readable figures and then totalled - the faint impression under the lost print is what makes it recoverable.

  • Faded thermal pushed to legible
  • Figures read into a table
  • Column totalled and checked
  • Blank where nothing survives

Crease flattening

Fold shadows lifted off the digits

The audit

Every figure recovered, and every column made to add up

Financial paper is checked with arithmetic, not vibes. Figures are recovered, then the columns are totalled - and a line that does not reconcile is flagged rather than delivered clean.

  • Captured lines are totalled and checked against the stated balance.
  • A column that does not add up is flagged with the offending lines highlighted.
  • An unrecoverable figure is withheld, because a plausible invented number is worse than a blank.
  • Everything exports to CSV, ready for a ledger or audit pack.

Captured as data

What is read back off the page

Every field carries its confidence and its source crop, and anything that fails a check is withheld into its own export column rather than delivered.

Capture guidance

Get this right and everything downstream is easier

  • 1Photograph thermal receipts as soon as possible - they keep fading.
  • 2Flatten crumpled receipts under a book before capturing.
  • 3Include the header so the account and period are captured.
Capture correction runs before restoration on every job - keystoning, uneven light, shadow and glare are handled first. How that works
When people reach for this

The jobs this console is built for

Real reasons people restore these documents - a filing, an audit, a conveyance, an archive before the paper gives out.

A box of thermal receipts

Receipts faded to blank recovered and totalled into one reconciled table for an expense or tax claim.

A statement for an audit

A dot-matrix bank statement with dropout read into a checked ledger, every column made to balance.

Invoices for a dispute

Smudged, water-damaged invoices recovered so the figures are unambiguous in a payment dispute.

100%

columns reconciled

Financial paper is checked with arithmetic, not vibes. Figures are recovered, then the columns are totalled - and a line that does not reconcile is flagged rather than delivered clean. The untouched original is always delivered alongside the restored file.

What this is, and is not

A legible copy of a record you already hold

Restoration is a reading aid and an archival tool. Being plain about the line it does not cross is part of the product.

What it does
  • Recovers faded receipts, statements and invoices
  • Reads amounts, dates and references into a checked table
  • Totals columns and flags what does not reconcile
  • Exports to CSV for a ledger or audit pack
What it will not do
  • Invent a figure that cannot be recovered
  • Silently correct a column that does not add up
  • Alter an amount, date or balance
  • Produce a copy meant to pass as an original
A shoebox of faded receipts came back as a spreadsheet that balanced to the penny. It flagged the two it was unsure about instead of guessing.

Questions

Financial Documents, answered

The questions people ask before sending us this kind of document.

Have a document you are not sure about?

Send us a photograph of it. We will tell you honestly whether it is recoverable before you spend anything.

Ask us

Sometimes. Thermal paper often keeps a faint impression that survives the visible print. Where nothing is recoverable the field is withheld and marked, because a plausible invented figure is far worse than a blank.
