Integration & deployment
- Runs as a desktop app, server service, or CLI tool depending on the product variant.
- Often used with scripting (PowerShell, Bash) or enterprise automation platforms (CI/CD, RPA).
Limitations to check
- Quality of OCR and handling of complex Excel macros or very large spreadsheets may vary.
- Licensing costs and platform support (Windows/macOS/Linux) differ by vendor.
If you want, I can:
- provide a short how-to for converting a folder of files with a CLI example, or
- draft a 30–60 second product description for marketing use.
