Smart Paste

Smart Paste is a software tool in the form of a browser extension that helps users automate data entry tasks. It supports extracting data from websites, web apps, and PDFs opened in the browser, aiming to speed up data transfer for individuals working with forms, tables, and repetitive entries.

Users interact with a sidebar to select tables or fields, then copy or paste data into their spreadsheets such as Excel or Google Sheets. The workflow emphasizes selecting tables, copying to the clipboard, and pasting into a spreadsheet, or mapping table headers to form inputs for automated filling.

The tool processes data locally on the user’s computer to maximize security, with processing performed on the device rather than in the cloud. It highlights automatic filling of forms, auto-suggestion of column-to-field mapping, and steps to reduce manual data entry errors by displaying the table alongside the work area.

Smart Paste supports multiple usage modes, including extracting and pasting data between websites or PDFs, filling input fields, and performing repetitive tasks with hotkeys. It emphasizes ease of use and quick data transfers to save time in data entry workflows.
