SPORET — Getting Started (Windows)
===================================

Welcome! This guide assumes you've never used anything like Sporet
before. It should take about 5 minutes.


STEP 1 — Unzip the download
----------------------------
If you haven't already, right-click the file you downloaded and choose
"Extract All". Open the folder it creates — you should see a folder
called "Sporet" and a file called "Start Sporet.bat".


STEP 2 — Start Sporet
----------------------
Double-click "Start Sporet.bat".

The very first time you do this, Sporet quietly sets itself up in the
background. This takes a minute or two and only happens once — after
that, it starts in a few seconds.

If Windows shows a security warning, that's normal for a new
application — click "More info" then "Run anyway".

If you see a message that Python is missing, install it from
https://www.python.org/downloads/ — on the first screen of the
installer, make sure to tick "Add python.exe to PATH" before clicking
Install. Then just double-click "Start Sporet.bat" again.


STEP 3 — Install Tesseract (only needed for scanned or photographed invoices)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sporet reads regular PDF invoices right away, with nothing extra to
install. If some of your invoices are scanned documents or photos of
receipts, Sporet needs one extra piece of free software — Tesseract —
to read the text in those.

If it's not already on your computer, its installer will open on its
own the first time Sporet needs it. Just click through it with the
default options, then restart "Start Sporet.bat" once it's finished.

You can skip this if it pops up — Sporet will still work for regular
PDF invoices, and will simply flag anything it couldn't read yet.


STEP 4 — Add your invoices
----------------------------
Your browser will open automatically with Sporet running.

Inside the "Sporet" folder, you'll find a folder called "invoices".
Drop your invoice PDFs, scans, or receipt photos in there (you can
also make sub-folders per supplier, if you like — Sporet will pick up
on that automatically). Sporet finds and reads them on its own — you
don't need to tell it to.


STEP 5 — Search
------------------
Back in your browser, type a product name, varenr, or invoice number
into the search box. That's it — you're done.


YOUR TRIAL
------------
This is a fully working 7-day free trial — it started automatically
the moment you first opened Sporet. No email, no account, nothing to
fill in.

After the 7 days, you can still view and search everything you've
already processed — you just won't be able to add new invoices until
you activate a license. To activate, open Settings inside Sporet, copy
your Machine ID, and email it to us at kontakt@sporet.net.


YOUR DATA
-----------
Everything Sporet finds and processes stays on this computer, inside
the "Sporet" folder. Nothing is ever uploaded anywhere.
