Lido

Lido is an AI OCR tool for extracting text and tables from PDFs and financial documents and turning them into Excel spreadsheets. It’s designed for finance and operations teams that process large volumes of documents and want to reduce manual data entry.

How it works

• Upload a PDF document
• Lido automatically extracts tables and key data
• Download the result as an Excel file
• For complex layouts, set up extraction rules for specific document types

Key features and limitations

• High accuracy for data recognition
• Works with both scanned and digital PDFs
• Rule-based configuration for different templates and document types
• No mobile app
• Limited integrations with other services

Tips for best results

• Check scan quality before uploading; blurry scans reduce accuracy
• Use extraction rules for complex or non-standard documents
• For bulk processing, group documents by category to keep rules consistent

Lido is commonly used by accounting teams, financial analysts, and operations managers, especially when working with financial PDFs that require reliable, configurable extraction.
