Turn a drawing archive's title blocks into a spreadsheet

1. 1

   Upload

   Upload PDFs, TIFFs or image scans. A PDF or TIFF file can hold up to 200 sheets, and every sheet of one file lands in the same workbook.

2. 2

   Read

   SpecCapture reads each sheet's title block, revision history and notes, and checks dates, revision letters, material specifications and units with rules.

3. 3

   Check

   Select any value to see the box on the drawing it was read from. Values SpecCapture is unsure of are flagged; correct one in place and the export carries your correction.

4. 4

   Export

   Download an Excel workbook with one row per sheet on its Sheets tab and a tab for each table, such as the revision history, or the same data as CSV or JSON.

• Everything is reviewed at first

  A new workspace starts with every value waiting for a person. A field is accepted automatically only after 20 confirmations in a row with no correction, and exports mark whatever is still waiting.

• Scans need a closer look

  Scans are weaker: the critical fields came out right 82.1% of the time on 1960s microfilm scans and 58.6% on drawings scanned from old printed reports. Values recognized as handwriting are always flagged for a person to check.

• One workbook per file

  Each uploaded file exports on its own, as one workbook, one set of CSV files or one JSON file, so to keep a batch together, combine its sheets into one PDF or TIFF file, or collect every file's values through the API.

• File limits

  Up to 50 MB and 200 sheets a file, and a sheet up to 150 million pixels. Accepted: PDF, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, BMP and WebP.

Every fact in one place, with how accuracy was measured: SpecCapture at a glance.
