No separate OCR software

OCR runs directly inside the Excel add-in. Drop a PDF and text recognition starts automatically, with no external tools or file conversions.

Text recognition on load

Whether it is a single invoice or a 200-page contract, text is recognized as soon as the document loads.

Scanned and digital PDF support

Blast Audit handles both native digital PDFs and image-based scans. Every document becomes a searchable, extractable source of evidence.

Fully searchable documents

Once OCR completes, every word is indexed. Search across all your audit documents to find the exact evidence you need.

How it works

Three steps to searchable documents

01

Drop PDF into Excel

Import any PDF, scan, or image directly into your workbook through the Blast Audit panel.

02

OCR runs automatically

Text recognition starts the moment your document loads. No buttons to click, no settings to configure.

03

Extract with Snip

Draw on the document to extract any value directly into an Excel cell. Text, numbers, and tables, all linked back to the source.

From supporting evidence to a linked cell in Excel

Installed from AppSource in two minutes, your first linked cells within the hour. Free for 14 days.
