HOW IT WORKS
A better way to work with numbers.
Three steps. No manual retyping.
STEP 01
Capture
Press Alt+Q and draw around the amounts you need. The selected region is processed locally using OCR.
STEP 02
Review and total
C.P.A. populates an editable tape. Check purple warnings, correct any values, and see the updated total.
STEP 03
Copy or export
Copy a total, copy raw values as an Excel column, copy CSV, or save and print a formatted calculation tape.
MULTIPLE SNIPS. MULTIPLE SOURCES.
Grab a little here. A little there.
Add it all together.
Capture a set of numbers from a PDF, grab another from a website, then add more from a spreadsheet or app. Every snip joins the same running calculation in Mini or Full Mode.

All three captures stay in the same session.
Works across visible Windows applications. Recognition may vary with image quality; double-check flagged values before relying on totals.
PRINT / SAVE YOUR WORK
A real adding-machine tape. Without the paper roll.
Keep a running tally across many captures, review each amount, and produce a clean traditional calculation tape when you are done. Print it or save it as a PDF for your records.
Optional per-capture subtotals, a final grand total, and a customizable three-line tape header. Printed tapes omit on-screen snip IDs for a cleaner result.

Designed for the numbers you actually encounter.
Expense reports, worksheets, PDFs, purchasing records, scanned receipts, web pages, and numerical lists can all require different handling. C.P.A. gives you a consistent way to capture, inspect, and transfer values.
Review matters: OCR can misread or combine amounts, especially in low-quality scans or ambiguous formats. Always verify results before relying on financial totals.
FOR ACCOUNTING & FINANCE
Scattered values become a column.
Copy Values outputs one raw numerical value per line—ready to paste into Excel.
SOURCE
12, 22, 22, 21, 9
Values may start in one cell or appear across a financial report.

Copy them as a clean numerical column, after verifying any ambiguous OCR values.
COPY VALUES
The same numbers, ready for Excel.
Values copy as raw numeric lines, not as a formatted receipt.
REAL ACCOUNTING WORKFLOW
From a sample tax form to Excel-ready numbers.
C.P.A. captures figures from a financial document, lets you exclude an existing total, and copies only the values you need into an Excel column.
