Compare ways to turn a picture of a table into Excel

See what you get if you retype a table, copy plain text, or scan it into rows and columns.

Three ways to get a printed table into Excel end in different things. This page only compares those results.

What each way leaves you holding

Retype. The cells are right if you do not mistype. The time is the whole table.
Copy plain text. You get the words. Columns often collapse into one line. You rebuild the grid.
Scan the grid. A photo or a PDF becomes rows and columns you check, then an Excel file. A wrong cell is an edit, not a retype of the page.

Tablune is the third way, on iPhone and iPad. Coming soon. iOS 15.6 or later. 7-day trial.
