Upload a photo, scan, or PDF of any form, typed or handwritten. Lido's AI reads every field and maps it to the correct Excel column automatically.
To convert a form to Excel, upload a photo, scan, or PDF of the completed form to Lido. Its AI reads each field, whether it was typed or filled in by hand, and places the value into the matching Excel column. A single form becomes one clean spreadsheet row in seconds, with no template setup and no manual data entry, regardless of whether the form was typed or handwritten.
Snap a photo, scan the form, or upload a PDF. Lido accepts typed forms, handwritten forms, and mixed forms with fields in both.
The AI identifies each labeled field on the form and reads the value inside it, whether typed or handwritten, matching values to the correct Excel column based on the form's own structure.
Each form becomes a new row appended to your spreadsheet, with column headers already labeled. Export to Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, JSON, or XML.
A staffing agency collects candidate application forms through several channels: a typed PDF submitted online, a printed form filled out by hand at job fairs, and a hybrid form where candidates type some fields and handwrite others on-site. Office staff previously retyped every field from every format into a shared spreadsheet, regardless of how the form arrived.
After switching to Lido, staff upload whatever format the form arrives in. The AI reads typed and handwritten fields the same way, mapping candidate name, position, availability, and experience to the correct columns automatically. What used to require sorting forms by type before entering data now takes one upload flow for every format.
"We used to have one tool for typed forms and a different process for handwritten ones. Now everything goes through the same upload, no matter how the form was filled out."
"Half our intake forms come back typed, half handwritten. Lido reads both the same way and maps everything to the same columns without us telling it which is which."
"It figures out the field mapping from the form itself. We didn't have to build a template for any of our six different form types."
A form to Excel workflow works well anywhere staff process filled-out forms, regardless of whether they arrive typed, handwritten, or mixed: applications, intake forms, surveys, registration forms, and inspection checklists. Because Lido reads the form's own structure and content rather than matching against a fixed template or requiring a single input type, one upload flow covers every format that comes in.
If your forms are specifically handwritten, see handwritten form to Excel for single forms or handwritten forms to Excel for batch conversion. If your source documents are tables rather than fielded forms, see handwritten table to Excel. For general document conversion, see handwritten to Excel. For more guides, visit the Lido blog.

Upload a photo, scan, or PDF of the completed form to Lido. The AI reads each field on the form, whether typed or handwritten, and maps the value to the correct column in an Excel spreadsheet. A single form becomes one row in seconds, with no template setup.
Both. Lido's AI reads the visual structure and content of a form regardless of whether it was filled out by typing, handwriting, or a mix of the two. The same upload flow handles a typed PDF application, a handwritten intake sheet, or a form with some fields typed and others filled in by hand.
Any form with structured fields: applications, intake forms, surveys, registration forms, order forms, permission slips, sign-up sheets, and inspection checklists. Lido reads the form's visual layout directly, so it works on typed digital forms, printed forms filled in by hand, and scanned or photographed paper forms.
Yes. Lido reads the form's labels and layout to determine what each value represents, then places it in the matching column automatically. This works without a template because the AI reads structure and context rather than matching against a fixed layout.
Lido's AI achieves 99.5% field-level accuracy across typed and handwritten forms, including cursive and mixed print styles. Every extracted value comes with a confidence score, so low-confidence fields can be flagged for a quick manual check before the spreadsheet is finalized.
Extracted form data exports to Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, JSON, or XML. Column headers are generated from the form's field labels automatically, and can be renamed or reordered before export.
