Extract text, tables, and fields from scanned documents, images, and PDFs using AI-powered OCR. Get structured spreadsheet data without templates or manual data entry.
No templates. No training data. No per-document setup.
Upload a scanned PDF, image, photo, or fax. The AI handles JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, multi-page PDFs, and more — skewed scans, low resolution, and faded text included.
OCR reads every character while AI identifies the document structure — tables, labels, line items, totals, and fields. Data is mapped to organized columns by context, not templates.
Download extracted data as Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets. Use AI columns to define custom extraction rules in plain English for any field you need.
Upload any scanned document, PDF, or image — invoice, receipt, bank statement, or form — and get structured spreadsheet data back immediately.
AI-powered OCR that goes beyond text recognition to extract structured data.
Scanned documents, PDFs, photos, faxes, screenshots — upload from any source. Supports PDF, JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, BMP, and WebP. AI handles skewed scans, faded text, and low-resolution images without pre-processing.
AI detects table structures, column headers, row data, and key-value fields automatically. Extracts line items from invoices, entries from bank statements, and rows from any tabular document into properly formatted spreadsheet data.
Reads documents the way a person would, identifying fields by position and context. No templates break when document layouts change. AI columns let you define custom extraction rules in plain English for any data point.
Handles scanned documents, photocopies, and faxes that traditional OCR struggles with. AI compensates for scan artifacts, skewed pages, bleed-through, and inconsistent print quality to deliver accurate structured data.
Export extracted data to Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, JSON, or XML. Direct spreadsheet output eliminates manual reformatting. REST API returns structured JSON with confidence scores for integration into databases and ERPs.
Upload hundreds of documents at once. AI processes them in parallel and outputs all extracted data to a single spreadsheet. Connect email, Google Drive, or cloud storage for automatic processing as documents arrive.
“We scan hundreds of supplier invoices per week. What used to take two full days of manual data entry now runs through OCR extraction automatically in under an hour.”
“Our field teams photograph documents on-site. The OCR extraction handles phone photos with poor lighting and skewed angles just as well as clean scans. Data lands in our spreadsheet automatically.”
“We replaced three different OCR tools with one platform. It handles scanned PDFs, photographed receipts, and handwritten forms equally well. Structured data lands in Google Sheets automatically.”
“We cut manual data entry by 90%. Scanned documents that used to sit in a backlog for days now process automatically — invoices, receipts, purchase orders, all of it.”
Operations teams using AI-powered OCR extraction have reduced manual document processing time by 85–95% across invoices, receipts, bank statements, and scanned forms.
Every business accumulates documents containing data locked inside unstructured formats — scanned invoices in filing cabinets, PDF bank statements arriving by email, photographed receipts from field teams, faxed purchase orders from suppliers. Getting this data into spreadsheets has traditionally meant manual retyping, which is slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale as document volume grows.
Traditional OCR was designed to convert images of text into machine-readable characters. It works well on clean, high-resolution scans with consistent fonts and layouts. But it fails on real-world documents because it reads characters in isolation without understanding what those characters mean in context. A traditional OCR engine does not know that the number next to “Total Due” on an invoice is a payment amount, or that the rows in a table represent individual line items. The result is a flat text dump that requires extensive manual post-processing and custom rules for every document type.
AI-powered OCR extraction takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of recognizing characters one at a time, the AI reads the entire visual structure of a document — tables, labels, fields, line items, headers, and totals — the way a person would. It understands spatial relationships, recognizes that certain values belong together, and maps each data point to the correct spreadsheet column automatically. This layout-agnostic approach means the same extraction engine works on invoices, receipts, bank statements, purchase orders, and any other document without templates or per-document-type configuration.
The practical impact is significant. Teams processing documents manually spend hours per day on data entry that AI OCR extraction completes in seconds. Because the AI adapts to any document layout, there is no setup cost when a new vendor, supplier, or document format appears. Extracted data flows directly into Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, or JSON, ready for accounting systems, ERPs, databases, or downstream analysis. Security is handled end to end — Lido is SOC 2 Type 2 certified with AES-256 encryption and 24-hour automatic data deletion.

OCR extraction is the process of using optical character recognition and AI to pull text and structured data from scanned documents, images, and PDFs and convert it into spreadsheet-ready formats like Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets. Traditional OCR reads characters but loses document structure. AI-powered tools like Lido go further by understanding the visual layout and mapping each value to the correct spreadsheet column without templates.
Modern AI-powered OCR extraction achieves 95–99% accuracy on clear printed documents and 90–97% on handwritten text or low-quality scans. Lido's AI understands document layout — tables, labels, fields, line items — and extracts data into the correct spreadsheet columns. This contextual understanding means higher effective accuracy than simple character-level OCR for real-world documents.
AI-powered OCR extraction processes scanned documents, photos from phone cameras, faxes, screenshots, and native digital PDFs. It handles invoices, receipts, bank statements, forms, contracts, purchase orders, medical records, and any document containing text or tabular data. Lido accepts JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, BMP, WebP, and PDF files without pre-processing.
Traditional OCR converts images of text into machine-readable characters but does not understand document structure. OCR extraction builds on OCR by interpreting the visual layout — identifying tables, fields, labels, line items, and relationships between data points. Traditional OCR outputs flat text. OCR extraction outputs structured data with each field mapped to the correct spreadsheet column, working on any document layout without templates.
Yes, modern AI-powered OCR reads handwritten text with 90–97% accuracy depending on handwriting clarity. Simple OCR tools designed for printed text struggle with handwriting because letterforms vary between writers. AI-powered tools like Lido use contextual understanding to interpret handwritten characters based on surrounding content and document structure. This works for handwritten notes, filled-in forms, and annotated documents.
