Frequently Asked Questions

▶Can I extract numbers from a PDF class roster?

NumSwift works with text, not PDFs directly. Select and copy the text from your PDF viewer (most PDF viewers support this), then paste it into NumSwift. If the PDF is image-based, use OCR software first to convert it to text.

▶Is student data kept private?

Yes. NumSwift processes everything locally in your browser. No data is sent to any external server. This makes it suitable for use with student records, though you should always follow your institution's FERPA and data privacy policies.

▶Can I use this for emergency contact chains?

Absolutely. Paste your emergency contact list into NumSwift, and all phone numbers are extracted and ready to dial. This is much faster than scanning a printed list during an urgent situation.

▶Does it handle numbers from international families?

Yes. NumSwift recognizes phone formats from over 200 countries. If your school serves families from multiple countries, the extractor will correctly identify and format each number regardless of the country code or local formatting style.
