Photograph a crumpled receipt or upload a 30-page vendor bill—the AI extracts every field into a clean spreadsheet row. No templates. No per-vendor setup.
Drag and drop files, connect a cloud drive, or set up email auto-forwarding. Any file format works—PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or digital documents.
The AI identifies fields by context and meaning, not fixed coordinates. Names, dates, amounts, and custom fields are extracted automatically.
Get structured output in Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, or JSON. Use the REST API for direct integration into your systems.
“Our AP team was spending two full days every week keying in vendor invoices. Now they photograph the stack, upload it, and the spreadsheet is ready in minutes.”
“Field technicians snap photos of receipts in terrible lighting—gas stations, job sites, you name it. This tool reads them anyway. Our expense report backlog is gone.”
“We receive invoices from 60+ vendors in completely different formats. Other tools needed a template for each one. This handles all of them out of the box.”
Audited controls over a sustained period, not a point-in-time check.
Bank-grade encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit.
Documents deleted within 24 hours. No copies retained.
Invoice scanning software eliminates the slowest step in accounts payable: manually keying vendor names, invoice numbers, dates, and line items from paper documents into a spreadsheet or ERP system. The best invoice scanners use AI vision models to read any invoice layout—including crumpled receipts, faded thermal paper, and multi-page vendor bills—and output structured rows ready for import into accounting software.
The challenge with invoices specifically, compared to other document types, is their extreme variability. A single AP department may receive invoices from dozens or hundreds of vendors, each with a different layout, different field labels, and different line-item structures. Template-based OCR tools require you to define extraction zones for each vendor format, which creates an ongoing maintenance burden every time a vendor updates their invoice design or you onboard a new supplier.
AI-powered invoice scanning solves this by reading contextually rather than positionally. The AI understands that a number next to the word “Total” is a total amount regardless of whether it appears in the bottom-right corner, the middle of the page, or on page three of a multi-page document. Lido uses this layout-agnostic approach to handle any vendor invoice on the first upload without templates, training data, or per-vendor configuration.
For AP teams processing high volumes, the additional advantage is receipt handling. Field workers and traveling employees submit crumpled, poorly lit, and sometimes partially torn receipts. Traditional OCR fails on these degraded inputs. AI models trained on damaged document images can still extract vendor, date, amount, and category with high accuracy, clearing expense report backlogs that otherwise require manual entry by the finance team.
Yes. AI-powered invoice scanners handle crumpled receipts, faded thermal prints, and partially obscured text by using contextual understanding of invoice layouts. Lido processes damaged receipts with confidence scoring so you know which fields may need a second look.
Multi-page invoices are treated as a single document. The AI reads across all pages, stitching together line-item tables that span page breaks and associating header information from page one with totals on the final page.
Standard extracted fields include vendor name, invoice number, invoice date, due date, subtotal, tax amount, total, payment terms, PO number, and individual line items with descriptions, quantities, unit prices, and line totals. You can also define custom fields using AI columns.
Yes. Photograph invoices and receipts with any smartphone camera and upload the photos directly. The AI corrects for angle, lighting, and shadows automatically. You can also set up email auto-forwarding so invoices received as attachments are processed without manual upload.
Lido offers 50 free pages to test invoice scanning. The Standard plan starts at $29 per month for 100 pages. Scale plans for AP departments start at $7,000 per year for up to 42,000 pages. Enterprise pricing is available for higher volumes or custom ERP integrations.
