How to Process Hand-filled Forms With Online OCR

1. Create a Form Template

Start by uploading a single scanned sample of your hand-filled form.
The Form Data Processor will automatically recognize the data fields and highlight them on the scan, presenting each field with its key and value.
You can easily add, modify, rename, or delete these bounding boxes to ensure the template perfectly captures only the specific data you need.

2. Batch Process and Review Your Forms

Once your custom template is saved, select it and upload your batch of scanned hand-filled forms (up to 50 images or PDFs per session). Our engine will extract the data instantly.

You can then view the original scans side-by-side with the extracted values, easily browsing through the batch to verify accuracy and make any quick manual corrections if needed.

3. Export Extracted Data to Excel or Word

Finally, export your extracted batch to the digital format that best fits your workflow.
Download the entire batch as an Excel or CSV file to create a structured master table, where each key becomes a column header and every form gets its own row.
Alternatively, export to a Word or TXT document to save the keys and values as a continuous, organized list.
