“PaperAI cut our AP processing time by 75% — invoices that took 5 minutes each now take under 30 seconds.”
Turning scanned paper into spreadsheet data is one of the most requested document processing tasks. Financial reports, inventory lists, order forms, and log sheets all contain tabular data that teams need in their spreadsheets. Manual re-typing is slow, expensive, and introduces errors.
PaperAI's AI models handle the challenges of scanned documents: skewed pages, inconsistent lighting, scanner artifacts, and varying print quality. The AI identifies table boundaries, column headers, and row structure even when the scan is imperfect. The output is clean CSV that imports into Excel without manual cleanup.
For best results, scanning at 300+ DPI is recommended. PaperAI achieves 95%+ accuracy on table extraction from well-scanned documents, processing each page in under 30 seconds. The CSV output is ready for direct import into Excel, Google Sheets, or any database that accepts delimited data.
Scan paper documents
Scan paper documents using a flatbed scanner, document feeder, or phone camera. PaperAI handles any scan quality — from 600 DPI flatbed scans to quick phone photos of wrinkled paper.
AI identifies tables and data
Vision AI reads the scanned image, identifying table boundaries, column headers, row structure, and individual cell values. It handles skewed pages, scanner artifacts, and inconsistent formatting.
Review extracted tables
Check the extracted table data in the side-by-side view. Confidence scores highlight cells where the AI is less certain — typically handwritten entries or poor-quality scan areas.
Export to Excel or CSV
Download as CSV for direct import into Excel, Google Sheets, or your database. Tables are exported with correct column alignment, headers, and data types preserved.
