I tried "reckon", but the learming promiss did not realize at all. The automatic recognition of columns did, but then I had to manually tell reckon how to post all transactions. This caused a lot of work (no autocompletion like in emacs). After this I ended up with a file that was not emacs ledger-mode compliant. Had to re-edit all transactions in emacs again. So I think the whole process did not really save me time at all, on the contrary.
The "ledger convert" caused less trouble, the extra configuration to tell it what columns to convert is a one time treshold only. I tend to only use these conversion mechanisms when there is a mismatch that I can not otherwise pin down.
