How it works

One sheet in. One checked row out.

  1. 01/Photograph the sheet

    A photo or a one-page PDF. The same form, filled in once per person.

  2. 02/Read it beside the scan

    Each field is filled in. Focusing a field zooms the place on the sheet it came from.

  3. 03/Correct and download

    Fix anything that is wrong, download the CSV, then open the next sheet.

Time and money

Typing the stack is the expensive part.

The same 1,000 sheets, about 10 fields each.

By hand

50 hours

2,000 lei

Every field typed from the sheet. 3 minutes each.

AI-assisted

17 hours

about 670 lei

plus 59 lei to process the 1,000 pages

About 730 lei in total. The fields arrive filled. A person still checks each row against the scan.

Saved on that stack: 1.270 lei

about 33 hours and about 1.270 lei

Illustrative figures for 1,000 sheets of about 10 fields each. Typing from handwriting is counted at 3 minutes a sheet. With AI the fields arrive filled, and checking the row against the scan is counted at about 1 minute, including the read. Time is priced at 40 lei per hour, a planning rate rather than a quoted wage. Your own handwriting and form length change both sides.

FAQ

From a photo on the desk to a spreadsheet

How do I turn a photo of a paper form into an Excel table?

Photograph the sheet, or save a one-page PDF. Formalbyte AI Data Entry reads the fields of that form. You check each value against the scan, then download a CSV. One sheet becomes one spreadsheet row, using the columns defined for that form.

Is there an app that scans paper forms into Excel?

Yes, for a form you collect again and again. The columns are set up once. Each photo fills a row, in Romanian or English. It is not a general converter that turns an arbitrary picture into whatever table happens to be on the page.

Can it read a handwritten sign-in sheet into editable text?

Yes. A handwritten sign-in sheet, lead form or registration form is read field by field. You compare the row with the scan, correct what is wrong, and download a CSV you can edit in Excel. A one-off page of mixed notes is a poor fit. A stack of the same sheet is the fit.

What if I was going to hire someone to type the forms?

Typing a handwritten sheet of about 10 fields takes about 3 minutes. With AI the fields arrive filled, and a person checks them in about a minute. On 1,000 sheets that is about 33 hours and about 1,270 lei saved, after the 59 lei processing fee. The figures are illustrative, at 40 lei per hour.

Can the rows go into HubSpot, Salesforce or Zoho?

There is no native HubSpot, Salesforce or Zoho connector. You download a CSV and import it into Excel or into the CRM you already use.

What is the easiest way to digitize a stack of paper forms?

Use the same form for every person. Photograph each sheet, check the row beside the scan, download the CSV, then open the next sheet. The slow part of typing every field by hand is what disappears.

Does it work with Romanian forms?

Yes. Lead sheets, feedback forms and registration forms in Romanian are read with their diacritics. English forms go through the same steps. You still check every row before the CSV is downloaded.

What does Formalbyte AI Data Entry cost?

59 lei per 1,000 pages. One page is one photographed or scanned sheet. You still spend a short time checking each row. That checking time is not included in the 59 lei.
