Convert Estonian bank statements to Excel
Tallyscope reads Estonian column headers, dates and numbers in your browser and checks every row against the running balance before you export to Excel or CSV.
What Tallyscope reads in Estonian (Eesti) statements. The site is in English; no bank names are used or implied.
Estonian bank statements to Excel
Estonian statements use the letters õ, ä, ö and ü and write amounts with a space for thousands and a comma for cents. The file is read in your browser tab and every row is checked against the printed running balance. The Estonian-specific parts follow.
Estonian column headers the reader recognises
| Column | Estonian words |
|---|---|
| Date | Kuupäev |
| Value date | Valuutapäev |
| Description | Selgitus, Saaja, Maksja |
| Debit (money out) | Deebet |
| Credit (money in) | Kreedit |
| Amount | Summa |
| Balance | Jääk |
The statement-level labels Algsaldo and Lõppsaldo are recognised as the opening and closing balance. Matching ignores case, accents and punctuation, and the lists hold more words than shown. An unrecognised header can be assigned by hand in the column mapper.
An Estonian sample, row by row
The figures below are synthetic and use Estonian conventions for headers, dates and numbers. The opening label Algsaldo is the statement's starting balance. The same table, saved as a CSV, is read by the real parser in our automated tests, so what follows is what the reader actually does with it.
| Kuupäev | Selgitus | Deebet | Kreedit | Jääk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Algsaldo | 1 625,50 | |||
| 02.01.2026 | Palk | 3 055,00 | 4 680,50 | |
| 15.01.2026 | Üür | 933,00 | 3 747,50 | |
| 20.01.2026 | Toidupood | 125,13 | 3 622,37 | |
| 28.01.2026 | Tagasimakse | 26,95 | 3 649,32 | |
- 02.01.2026 is read as 2 January 2026. 3 055,00 in the Kreedit column becomes +3,055.00, and the printed balance 4 680,50 is 4,680.50, which equals 1,625.50 plus 3,055.00.
- 15.01.2026 is read as 15 January 2026. 933,00 in the Deebet column becomes -933.00, and the printed balance 3 747,50 is 3,747.50.
- 20.01.2026 is read as 20 January 2026. 125,13 in the Deebet column becomes -125.13, and the printed balance 3 622,37 is 3,622.37.
- 28.01.2026 is read as 28 January 2026. 26,95 in the Kreedit column becomes +26.95, and the printed balance 3 649,32 is 3,649.32.
Opening 1,625.50, plus the four movements (net +2,023.82), gives 3,649.32, the last printed balance 3 649,32. Every row agrees with the running balance, so this statement is shown as Verified.
Money out and money in in Estonian statements
This sample uses two money columns, a layout found in many Estonian-language statements: Deebet holds money out and Kreedit holds money in, and each amount is printed without a sign because the column carries the direction. The reader takes the direction from the column and then checks it against the balance; if a column were swapped, the balance would not follow and the statement would not be marked Verified.
Estonian OCR at a glance
| Model code | est |
| Writing system | Latin letters |
| Bundled English model | Reads digits and Latin letters; the est model improves accented or special letters |
| Text PDF, spreadsheet, bank file | No OCR and no model download |
Dates in Estonian statements
jaanuar is read as January, and dates with points such as 15.01.2026 as day first.
Examples that are read correctly: 15 jaanuar 2026, 15.01.2026.
Numbers and signs
The amount 1 234,56 is read as 1,234.56.
Examples that are read correctly: 1 234,56. The running balance is the final judge of every sign.
Scanned Estonian statements and the OCR model
The bundled English model reads the digits and most Latin letters. With the OCR language set to English only, nothing is downloaded; in automatic mode (the default) a poor read can trigger up to three trial model downloads from the jsDelivr CDN (cdn.jsdelivr.net), plus any language remembered from this session or detected earlier, and no statement content is ever sent. If your browser's language is Estonian, its model (est) is the first one tried. Choosing Estonian by hand in the OCR language setting turns auto-detect off, and scans are then read with that model.
The file stays in your tab (every network use is listed here).
What is specific to Estonian
Month abbreviations are read as well: 15 veebr 2026 is 15 February 2026 and 15 dets 2026 is 15 December 2026, alongside the full märts, aprill, mai, oktoober and detsember. The inflected form 15 märtsi 2026 is not recognised as a date, so a statement that writes months that way needs its date column checked by hand.
Väljaminek is read as money out, Laekumine as money in and Tehingu kuupäev as the transaction date. Saaja/Maksja written as one cell is not classified by itself.
Header matching strips accents after decomposition, so Kuupäev and Jääk are matched against their plain forms, and a scan that loses the dots still resolves.
Deebet and Kreedit are read as money out and money in, Valuutapäev as the value date, and Algsaldo and Lõppsaldo as the opening and closing balances.
Convert an Estonian statement
Add the file to Tallyscope (10 files at once are free), read each statement's status, fix flagged rows on the Review tab, then export: CSV is free for the first 25 rows; unlimited CSV and Excel, PDF, JSON, OFX, QuickBooks CSV, Xero CSV and a reconciliation report (PDF, plus an Excel sheet) come with the Day pass or Pro (pricing). Several Estonian and non-Estonian files can be merged into one table.
No accuracy percentage is claimed: layouts vary, and the arithmetic check says whether a given statement reconciled (how verification works).
Frequently asked questions
Does Tallyscope read Estonian bank statements?
It recognises Estonian column headers, balance labels, dates and number formats, and checks the rows against the running balance. The website itself is only in English.
Do I need to download an OCR model for Estonian?
Not necessarily. The bundled English model reads digits and Latin letters first. If a scan reads poorly, auto-detect (the default) may download a language model such as Estonian (est) from the jsDelivr CDN (cdn.jsdelivr.net), or you can pick it by hand. Only a model file is requested; no statement content is sent.
Are my Estonian statements uploaded?
No. Files are read in your browser tab. The only OCR download is a language model file from the jsDelivr CDN, requested only when a scan needs a non-English model; no statement content is sent with it.
