Scanned PDF to Excel — OCR and AI Extraction
Convert scanned PDF documents into structured Excel files using a two-stage pipeline: OCR converts the scan to text, then AI extracts and structures the data into a clean spreadsheet.
Most OCR tools stop at raw text extraction. ParseFlow AI goes further, understanding document semantics to produce structured data — named fields, typed values, validated amounts — ready for immediate use.
Two-stage pipeline for scanned documents
Stage one: OCR. The scanned image is processed to extract text, preserving spatial relationships between text elements. Column structures in tables are detected using whitespace analysis. The output is structured text with page markers.
Stage two: AI extraction. The structured text is passed to the extraction pipeline which identifies document type, detects sections, and extracts named fields with confidence scores. Mathematical validation runs last to catch OCR-introduced errors.
