Use Lido to read printed and handwritten check fields, capture MICR data, and export structured rows to CSV, Excel, Google Sheets, JSON, XML, APIs, Zapier, and Power Automate.
OCR for checks turns check images into structured data. Lido extracts payee, date, amount, memo, check number, routing number, account number, and MICR data from scans, photos, PDFs, and email attachments, then exports clean rows to the systems your team already uses.
Manual check entry slows down accounting, AR, lockbox, reconciliation, property management, insurance, legal, and finance operations teams. Lido replaces retyping with AI extraction that reads check layout contextually instead of forcing teams to build templates for every bank.
