OCR your entire document backlog — then organize it automatically

Drop a folder of PDFs, scans, or images and Lido OCRs every file, renames each one based on what it actually contains, and sorts it into the right folder. No manual sorting. No generic filenames like "scan001.pdf".

  • Content-based renaming. Lido reads each document and names it from the content, vendor name, date, document number, or whatever fields matter to you.
  • Auto-sort into folders. Documents route to the right folder based on type, department, vendor, date range, or any rule you set.
  • Backlog + ongoing. Run a one-time batch on your archive, then keep the same rules running on new documents as they arrive.

How batch OCR and organize works in Lido

1

Drop your documents

Upload a folder of PDFs, scanned images, or mixed files. Lido queues them all and starts processing immediately.

2

OCR and read content

Lido runs OCR on every file, including handwritten documents and low-quality scans, and makes the content searchable and extractable.

3

Rename and sort automatically

Each file gets renamed based on extracted fields (vendor, date, reference number) and moved to the right destination folder based on your routing rules.

Why disorganized document folders are a productivity tax

The search-and-find grind

Files come in named "scan001.pdf" or "document (3).pdf". Your team searches by date, scrolls through thumbnails, and opens files one by one to find what they need. A retrieval that should take ten seconds takes five minutes. Multiply that across your team and across hundreds of requests per month.

Every file organized the moment it arrives

Lido reads each document, names it from its content, and routes it to the right folder. A vendor invoice becomes "Acme-Corp_Invoice_2026-04-15_INV-8842.pdf" in the right vendor folder. Retrieval is instant because every file is exactly where it should be.

Common use cases

Operations

Organize years of scanned document archives

A warehouse of unsearchable scanned PDFs becomes a structured, searchable archive in a single batch run. Files are named, typed, and routed to the right department folders.

Accounts Payable

Sort incoming vendor invoices by vendor folder

Every invoice that arrives gets OCR'd, renamed with vendor and invoice number, and dropped into the right vendor folder. AP reviewers find documents instantly without searching.

Legal

Organize case document intake

Discovery documents, filings, and correspondence arrive in bulk. Lido classifies each by type, names it with case number and document type, and routes it to the right case folder.

Healthcare

Sort patient records into structured folders

Incoming patient documents, intake forms, lab results, referrals, are read, named, and sorted into the correct patient and document-type folders automatically.
