The Problem

Accounts payable teams and small businesses still rely heavily on manual data entry for invoices, especially when dealing with scanned PDFs and mixed-format documents. Existing scanner apps are either too bloated with unnecessary features or too developer-focused, leaving a gap for users who need reliable OCR extraction that feeds directly into their financial workflows.

Potential Solution

A streamlined document scanning and invoice processing tool that combines fast mobile/desktop capture with AI-powered OCR optimized for financial documents. Extracted line items, totals, and vendor details are automatically structured into spreadsheet-ready or ERP-compatible formats, eliminating manual data entry while integrating seamlessly into existing AP workflows.

Why Now?

AI-driven OCR accuracy has reached a tipping point where even handwritten and low-quality scans can be reliably parsed. Meanwhile, businesses are under increasing pressure to cut operational costs and accelerate payment cycles, making manual invoice processing an unsustainable bottleneck.

Finally a no-subscription invoice tool that just works offline. Loved how it pulled my Excel data straight in and remembered my company details after the first run.

Finally something simple for invoicing without all the SaaS noise. Liked that it keeps everything offline and actually remembers the company details so I'm not retyping them every batch.

Unlike generic OCR tools that just extract text, BakuHub is an end-to-end AI tax engine built exclusively for UK ITSA & CIS. Just upload your files and we do the math. The AI natively links gross invoices to net bank feeds, instantly calculating exact CIS deductions to save you hours. We also fixed the "Black-Box AI" trust issue.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m David, the solo-founder of BakuHub. I built BakuHub specifically for UK accountants and bookkeepers handling ITSA (Income Tax Self Assessment) and CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) accounts. Currently, dealing with these accounts means spending hours manually matching invoices to bank statements just to figure out the missing CIS tax deductions in Excel. With BakuHub, you just upload the files, and the AI does the entire job for you: 🧮 Auto-Calculates Everything: It automatically matches gross invoices to net bank inflows and calculates the exact CIS tax deduction instantly. You get a clean, tax-ready summary, saving hours of manual work per client. 🔍 Visual Audit Logs: Accountants can't trust what they can't verify. For every single extracted number, you can click it and instantly see a visual "Snippet"—the exact cropped image from the original document. 100% audit-proof. 💸 No Line-Item Penalties: Generic tools charge you 3x credits just to extract a multi-line invoice. We charge a flat 1 credit per physical page. If you process UK taxes, or if you just want to see how we solved the "Black-Box AI" trust issue with our visual audit trails, I’d love for you to try it out. 🎁 Launch Day Offer: Sign up today, and your account is pre-loaded with 50 Free Transaction Credits (No CC required). Drop a complex CIS file in, and let the AI do the math for you. Would love to hear your feedback below! 👇

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Ruizhi, the maker of InboxToDrive. Like many of you, I’ve spent far too many hours dealing with manual data entry. While trying to organize my business bills, I used existing tools but quickly hit a major bottleneck: they extract the total invoice amount, but they completely ignore the individual **line items** (or force you to manually split them, which defeats the purpose of automation). That’s why I built InboxToDrive. It uses AI to reliably extract every single line item from your bills and invoices, exporting them directly to your Google Sheets and Google Drive. No complex accounting setups needed—just your organized data in your favorite spreadsheets. **Special Offer for the PH Community:** To celebrate our launch, I want to offer you **3 months of 100 free AI scans per month** on our monthly plan. 👉 Just use coupon code **PH100** during checkout. (Cancel anytime if it doesn't fit your workflow). I’ll be here all day to answer your questions, listen to your suggestions, and take feature requests. What should we build next? Let me know in the comments below! 👇
