How to Use

1
Enter basic info: Enter the year-month and employee name
2
Select page type: Choose "Front (1st–15th)" / "Back (16th–end)" / "Full (whole month)"
3
Upload image: Drag & drop or use file select to upload the image
4
Run OCR: Click the "Upload & Run OCR" button — AI reads the timecard in 10–30 seconds
Most timecards are double-sided. Upload "Front" and "Back" separately in two uploads.
Timecards with highlighter markers (yellow, pink, green, orange) can be read without issues. AI automatically removes highlighter colors before OCR processing, so there is no need to erase markers beforehand.
Any standard timecard works. As long as the date, clock-in time, and clock-out time are written, both handwritten and printed cards can be read.
The dashboard shows the following information:
• This month’s timecard count (uploaded sheets)
• Registered employee count (active)
• Sheets pending OCR
• Trial days remaining (if on trial)
• Recent import history (employee name, year-month, OCR status, confidence)

Shortcuts at the bottom: "Upload Timesheet," "Approve," "Employees," "Reports."
A screen showing each employee’s monthly attendance data in a list. Accessible from the "Monthly Employee View" tab in Attendance.

• Clock-in/out data listed by employee and month
• Automatic duplicate/missing punch detection
• Monthly total work hours, overtime, and night-work summary
Yes. In the OCR result detail screen, click "View Original Image" to see the uploaded source image. You can zoom in and out with pinch or mouse wheel — useful for checking handwriting.

Bulk Upload NEW

A feature for uploading multiple employees’ timecard images at once and processing them in one go — eliminating the need to upload photos taken at the site one by one. Access via the "Bulk Upload" tab in Attendance. Auto name detection is always on: AI reads names from timecards and matches them to the employee master.
1
Select the "Bulk Upload" tab in Attendance
2
Set the year-month and page type (Front / Back / Full) — these settings apply to all files
3
Drag & drop or click to select multiple image files
4
Click "Start Batch Processing" — up to 3 files are processed simultaneously
5
When all statuses show "Done," processing is complete. The sheet list auto-refreshes.
If uploading both front (1st–15th) and back (16th–end), run two separate uploads with different page types.
The sheet list can be filtered by month using the "Show month" selector. Click the "All" button to display sheets from all periods at once.
StatusMeaning
PendingWaiting to be processed
ProcessingOCR running (animated indicator)
DoneOCR succeeded. Employee name, count, and confidence are shown.
DuplicateThe same image is already registered. Please use a different image.
ErrorProcessing failed. Check the error message.
Delete errored files with the "×" button, fix the image, then re-add and process.
• In bulk mode, auto name detection is always ON. AI reads the name written on the timecard and auto-matches it to the employee master.

If the name is already in the master: linked automatically
If the name is not yet registered: saved as "Pending Employee" — approve or reject in Employee Management

For manual employee selection on a per-upload basis, use the "Single Upload" tab.
⚠️ Important: Write the employee name on BOTH sides of double-sided timecards In bulk upload, AI automatically identifies employees based on the name written on each image.
If the employee name is not written on the back side, the system cannot determine whose timecard it is — it may be linked to the wrong employee or saved as an "Unregistered Employee," which may count toward billing.

Correct timecard format

PageRequired infoNotes
Front (1st–15th) Name · Year-month · Attendance records The name field is usually at the top of the timecard
Back (16th–end) Name (required) · Attendance records Make sure to write the name on the back side too

If the back side has no name

A
Write the name by hand on the back side before photographing (recommended)
B
Skip bulk upload and use the "Single Upload" tab to manually select the employee
Billing note: Images where the name could not be identified are processed as "Unregistered Employees." Go to Employee Management to re-link to the correct employee, or reject. Even if rejected, the OCR processing for that month counts as one use.

Workflow Settings

A mechanism that allows employees to request corrections to attendance data, which an approver then approves or rejects. By keeping an approval trail, it increases the reliability of attendance management.

The workflow feature can be enabled/disabled by the owner. When disabled, managers can directly edit records.
1
Correction request: When attendance data needs correction, the employee submits a request with the correction content and reason
2
Approver notified: A pending approval notification appears on the approver’s dashboard
3
Approve/Reject: The approver compares with the pre-correction value and approves or rejects with a comment
4
Reflected: Approved corrections are automatically reflected in the attendance data
All requests, approvals, and rejections are recorded as audit logs and can be confirmed through the audit log screen.
Owners can change settings from the "Settings" tab in the Workflow screen.

Setting itemDescription
Workflow enable/disableWhen ON, correction requests require approval before taking effect
