To extract data from timesheets, upload the PDF, photo, or scan to an AI extraction tool like Lido. It reads employee names, dates, hours worked, project codes, overtime, and supervisor approvals from any format, including handwritten paper timesheets, with 99.9% accuracy.
Timesheets still arrive on paper in construction, staffing, healthcare, and field services. Workers fill them out by hand. Supervisors sign them. Someone in the office types the data into a payroll or billing system. AI extraction replaces that typing step.
