Convert scanned, photographed, or PDF pay stubs into structured digital data—accurate OCR for every employer format, every image quality level.
Upload any document — PDF, scan, or photo — and get structured data back immediately. No setup, no templates, no waiting.
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.
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.
“Construction workers often hand us paper pay stubs. The OCR reads folded, creased originals accurately enough for income verification without us having to squint at the numbers.”
“We digitize pay stubs from small business employees who rarely have digital payroll. The OCR quality on photocopied stubs is better than we expected.”
“Batch processing is the feature our team relies on. We scan a stack of 50 pay stubs and get a complete spreadsheet back in a few minutes.”
Pay stub OCR converts physical and digital pay stubs into machine-readable structured data. Despite the shift toward electronic pay statements, a significant portion of pay stubs are still received as paper documents, faxes, scanned PDFs, or smartphone photographs—particularly in industries like construction, hospitality, and small business services where digital payroll adoption is slower.
The OCR challenge for pay stubs goes beyond simple text recognition. Pay stubs contain tabular data with earnings rows, deduction rows, and running totals that must be correctly associated. A basic OCR tool might read the text on a pay stub but fail to distinguish between current-period gross pay and year-to-date gross pay, or between federal tax withholding and state tax withholding. AI-powered pay stub OCR understands the document structure and maps each value to the correct field.
Lido handles pay stubs at any quality level—crisp digital PDFs, grainy photocopies, folded and creased originals, and smartphone photos taken at odd angles. The AI vision model compensates for image quality issues while confidence scoring flags specific values where recognition certainty is low. This is critical for financial data where a misread digit in an earnings figure creates verification errors.
Organizations that receive pay stubs in physical or photographed form should evaluate pay stub OCR on image quality tolerance, extraction accuracy for financial fields, batch processing speed, and security certifications. Lido provides all of these with SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and output in Excel, CSV, and JSON formats.
Pay stub OCR uses optical character recognition and AI to convert paper, scanned, or photographed pay stubs into structured digital data. It reads earnings, deductions, and tax withholdings from the image and outputs them as spreadsheet rows or JSON records.
Yes. AI-powered OCR handles degraded image quality including low-resolution scans, faxed copies, folded originals, and smartphone photographs. Confidence scoring identifies specific values where image quality may have affected recognition accuracy.
Pay stub OCR is specialized for payroll documents. It understands the tabular structure of pay stubs and correctly maps values to fields like gross pay, net pay, and individual deductions—rather than producing unstructured text that requires manual interpretation.
A single pay stub is typically processed in under five seconds. Batch uploads are processed in parallel, allowing hundreds of pay stubs to be digitized in minutes for high-volume verification operations.
All documents are encrypted with AES-256 during processing, transmitted over TLS 1.2+, and deleted within 24 hours. Lido is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and does not retain processed documents beyond the deletion window.
