Haruno reads the statements printed in a company's published annual reports, including scanned PDFs. When two readers disagree on a figure, the figure waits for a person to check it against the PDF.

Some companies never give you an accounting file. All you have is the annual report, a PDF with the balance sheet, the income statement and the cash flow statement printed in it. Haruno can read those statements and keep the company's figures, year by year.
A company read this way lives in a project, not in the Portfolio. Add the PDFs as a source in a project and choose Read as company accounts…. The project's Companies tab then compares the companies it has read, each in its own currency, with ratios and growth. The Portfolio never lists them. The steps to add the reports are in Annual reports in a project.
Two kinds of PDF
A PDF with real text in it is read exactly, straight from the text. A scan is a picture of a page, so it has no text to read. Haruno reads a scan from the picture, and it is careful, because a misread digit would become a wrong number.
For a scan, Haruno uses two separate readers on the same pages. A figure is filed only when both readers read it the same way. A figure they read differently, or that only one of them found, is left out and waits for you. Haruno never files a guess.
Needs a look
A file Haruno cannot settle on its own shows Needs a look on its source row, with the number of questions. Press Answer….
A scan that needs a look. The last table shows what each reader read.
The sheet asks only what Haruno could not decide:
Which line is net income, or another key line.
Which unit the figures are in, thousands or millions, and which currency.
Which statement a page is, and which year each column covers.
Which name a line carries, when a scan read it unclearly. You can keep it as read, pick the nearest name, or type one.
For figures read from a scan, Haruno asks you to check them against the PDF, then confirm them. Open PDF opens the file, so you can look at the page yourself. The table What each OCR read lists, page by page, what each reader read for a figure it left out. OCR is software that reads text out of a picture. Where a figure was worked out so the totals add up, and was not read from the page, the sheet says so.
If part of a file is no use, Leave Out reads the file without those pages. Read files again reads the files again.
A file that holds no statement shows Not used. A file Haruno cannot open shows Not read and why.
Check a scan against the PDF
A scan is never filed on trust. Figures the two readers agree on are filed. Everything else waits for you. If one of the readers cannot be used, the whole file waits for you to check it against the PDF and confirm it. Tell a customer that a scanned report can need a person's eye.
A missing language pack
Reading a scan in Japanese or Chinese needs that language's OCR pack in Windows. If it is missing, the source says which pack and how to add it in Windows Settings. Then use Read again.
Saving names for your organization
When you correct the name of a line, you can press Save to my organization's list. The name goes to your organization's list, and the next scan that misreads the same name is marked with it. That is the only part of a scan that leaves the computer, and only when you press the button.
What comes out
Once a report is read, the company has its own page in the project with statements by year, ratios, restated figures where a later report changed an earlier one, and findings, such as a total that does not add up. A company can be exported with its figures, charts, ratios and findings. A company's currency and fiscal year-end are set in Company details. A currency the statements print cannot be changed.
