We use a proprietary extraction process. Nothing is generated—only extracted. All data must be confirmed by the user before downstream actions (e.g., payment advices) can occur.
In our experience with customers and in testing, typically 1-2 fields require changing at most. However, many factors impact this, so results may vary.
Yes. Your data is encrypted, kept separate from other agencies, and never used to train AI models. Our 2026 penetration test by Cobalt showed no critical, high, or moderate findings. Read more about our security.
Absolutely. This is a quick and easy process, leveraging Royalty Reader's data extraction capabilities.
Yes. We can easily export your data for upload to your preferred accounting system.
Ready to access reports include anticipated monies (filterable by agent, author, title, and more), rights sold, units sold by format, subsidiary rights earnings, missing royalty statements, and more.
Yes. Royalty Reader will parse initial contract data from a deal memo, and when the contract is ready, users can upload them to supplement the existing data with data such as Reserves, Out of Print, and Author Approvals.
Yes! We also create .CSV files based on IRS templates for you to upload directly to the IRS.
