Many portfolios operate with paper or scanned leases that have never been digitized into structured data. Building an accurate lease database from scratch requires abstracting every document — a project that takes months manually and is cost-prohibitive with traditional abstraction services.
Scan paper leases to PDF using a multifunction printer or a document scanning service. Ensure resolution is at least 300 DPI for accurate OCR.
Upload all scanned lease PDFs. Lextract's AI reads scanned documents natively as images, including handwritten amendments.
Lextract processes each document and generates a complete structured abstract with confidence scores for every field.
Work through flagged fields for each lease, cross-referencing the original scanned document to confirm values.
Export all abstracts into a consolidated Excel database. This becomes the portfolio's master lease record — the single source of truth for all lease terms.
Learn about the full integration between Lextract and Microsoft Excel, including supported export formats and critical fields.
View Microsoft Excel integration →Lextract's AI reads most standard scans natively. Very poor quality scans (below 200 DPI, heavy bleed-through, or significant distortion) may produce lower confidence scores on affected fields.
At $15 per lease, digitizing a 100-lease portfolio costs $1,500 with Lextract. Traditional lease abstraction services typically charge $150–$400 per lease for the same scope.
