Which HR forms can DokuScan process?

DokuScan isn't limited to one fixed form type. Since you define which fields get extracted yourself, the tool works with any HR document you process regularly.

Personnel questionnaires

Name, address, date of birth, tax class, health insurer, IBAN — all in one row per employee.

Application documents

Applicant name, position applied for, start date, salary expectation, qualifications — captured in structured form.

Leave requests

Employee, department, leave period, number of days, approval status — straight into leave planning.

Onboarding forms

Transfer all master data of new employees from the intake form directly into your HR system.

Sick notes

Employee, period, doctor, diagnosis code — automatically captured and exported.

Custom forms

Internal company forms that no other tool recognizes. Create a template once, then it's automatic.

What does manual data entry really cost?

Most companies underestimate the actual time involved. A simple calculation:

HR forms per month50
Average fields per form12 fields
Time per form (typing + checking)approx. 4 minutes
Total effort per month200 minutes = 3.3 hours
At €25/hour (admin staff)€82 / month = €984 / year
DokuScan (500 scans / month)€29 one-time

This is only the direct working time — errors from typos, follow-up questions and corrections are not included.

How it works.

Set up once, then it runs automatically.

1

Create a template: define fields — name, address, date of birth, department, tax class, IBAN.

2

Upload an HR form — PDF, JPG or PNG. Even phone photos of paper forms work.

3

AI reads out all defined fields — printed or handwritten.

4

Download Excel, CSV or JSON — ready for Personio, DATEV, SAP or your own system.

Custom fields — no fixed schema

You decide which fields get extracted. Health insurer, tax class, IBAN, probation period — any field your form contains.

Handwriting & print

Both printed forms and handwritten entries are reliably recognized using OCR and AI.

GDPR-compliant

Personnel data is especially sensitive. All data stays exclusively on German servers. Your documents are never used for training.

Batch processing

Upload all forms from a hiring wave at once — up to 25 files simultaneously.

No subscription

One-time scan packages. Credits never expire. Pay only when you actually process forms.

Export your way

Excel for manual follow-up, CSV for system imports, JSON for your own integrations.

Frequently asked questions

Does DokuScan also work with handwritten forms?

Yes. DokuScan combines OCR with AI extraction. Both printed and handwritten entries are recognized — even with imperfect handwriting. For lower scan quality, DokuScan shows a confidence score per field so you can check exactly where uncertainty exists.

Can I import the data directly into my HR system?

DokuScan exports as Excel (XLSX), CSV and JSON. These formats are supported by all common HR systems — Personio, DATEV, SAP HR, Agenda HR, or simple Excel-based workflows. The column names in the export exactly match the field names you defined in the template.

Is personnel data stored in a GDPR-compliant way?

Yes. All documents and extracted data are stored exclusively on German servers. Your documents are never used to train AI models. Every account is fully isolated — no other user can access your data.

What happens if the form is hard to read?

After extraction, DokuScan shows a confidence score per field. Fields with low confidence are flagged and can be corrected manually before export. That way you stay in control without having to check the entire document manually.

Does DokuScan work for all languages?

Yes. Documents in German, English, Polish, Spanish and French are processed. Output is delivered in your chosen language — independent of the document's original language.

More use cases

DokuScan works for any document type that contains structured data.
