Receipt Scanning

What is Receipt Scanning?

Receipt scanning uses AI-powered OCR to read your receipts and extract everything automatically: merchant name, date, individual line items with quantities and prices, discounts, and the total. You point your camera at a receipt, and the app does the rest.

It works with paper receipts, digital invoices, and PDF files. Receipts in any language are supported, so it handles everything from a corner store receipt to a foreign-language invoice.

Tips & Details

Offline Support

No internet? Receipts queue locally on your device and process automatically when you're back online. Nothing gets lost.

Any Language

The AI handles receipts in any language. Whether it's a thermal print from a Tokyo convenience store or a restaurant bill from Berlin, it'll extract the data correctly.

Rescan If Needed

If the results aren't satisfactory, you can rescan the receipt. This reprocesses the image through the AI for a fresh extraction.

Processing Flow

After you capture or select an image, it moves through four stages: pending (queued), processing (AI reading), uploading (syncing data), and done (ready to review).

Always Review

After scanning, you'll see the extracted data in an editable form. Take a moment to verify the merchant, amounts, and items before saving. You can correct anything the AI got wrong.
