Preserve Table Structures with AI-powered OCR
Pen to Print's Tables Digitizer is specifically trained to recognize grid layouts, accurately mapping your data exactly as it was written on the page. This is a massive advantage over standard OCR tools that are designed to read standard sentences, which often scramble tabular data into a messy, unformatted block of text.

Convert Forms and Lists to Word
Not all structured data belongs in a spreadsheet. You can easily scan structured lists, forms, and key-value pairs directly into seamlessly aligned Word documents, keeping your text perfectly organized without tedious manual formatting.

How do I convert a handwritten table to Excel?
Upload a clear scanned image or PDF of your handwritten table to the Pen to Print Tables Digitizer. The AI-powered OCR maps every row, column, and cell, then exports the result as an editable Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet or Word (.docx) table, ready for analysis.
Is my data secure and private when I use the Tables Digitizer?
Yes. We take data privacy very seriously. Your files are encrypted during transit, and are deleted automatically from our servers immediately as the table digitization process is complete. We do not store, access, use, or share your content in any way — your data remains completely private and under your control. For more details, see our Privacy Policy.
Should I use the Tables Digitizer or the Handwriting OCR for handwritten tables?
Both tools can digitize handwritten tables, but each is built for a different use case. The Handwriting OCR tool is the right pick when a table is embedded in a longer block of text — it converts the whole page into Word and renders the table as a native Word table inside the surrounding text. The Tables Digitizer is built for pages that are mainly tabular and exports your data straight into an Excel spreadsheet or a standalone Word table.
Should I use the Tables Digitizer or the Data Extraction tool for handwritten forms?
Use the Data Extraction tool when you need to pull specific fields from a known form template — like an application or invoice where the field positions and labels are fixed and you want each field mapped to a column in Excel. Use the Tables Digitizer when your content is a freeform handwritten table where preserving the row, column, and cell structure of the original page is what matters.
Can the Tables Digitizer handle messy and cursive handwriting?
Yes. Pen to Print's unique Cursive Reader is applied across all our tools, so the Tables Digitizer stays accurate in both structure and content — even with messy or cursive handwriting.
