Excel
Scanned PDF or photo to Excel
Read scanned PDFs and phone photos of documents with OCR in your browser and get tables and labelled values into Excel, with unsure values flagged.
The short answer
A scanned PDF is an image, so its text must be read with OCR before it can go into Excel. Rowvio runs OCR in your browser on the scanned pages only, rebuilds tables and "label: value" pairs, and marks values it was unsure about so you can check them.
How to do it with Rowvio
- 01Drop the scanned PDF or a photo (JPG, PNG) into Rowvio.
- 02Choose the document language (English + Afrikaans, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch).
- 03Rowvio reads the scanned pages and structures tables and details.
- 04Check the amber "unsure" cells in the Data view.
- 05Download Excel.
Common errors and what causes them
5/S, 8/B, 1/I mix-ups
Typical OCR confusions in codes; Rowvio corrects likely cases and marks them for checking.
Tilted scans
Pages are straightened automatically before reading.
Questions
Is OCR done on a server?
No. It runs in your browser; the reading model downloads once.
How accurate is it?
On clean 300 dpi scans most values are exact; always check the flagged cells.
