Scan receipts with OCR to extract merchant name, date, items, total, and tax.
Point this tool at a photo or scan of a receipt and it reads the printed characters, then sorts what it finds into the fields an expense tracker needs: merchant name, date, line items, total, and tax. The scan runs entirely in your browser, so the image never leaves your machine, which matters here because receipts carry purchase details. The thing most people get wrong: OCR reads what is printed, not what the receipt means. A faded, tilted, or glossy receipt can yield confident-looking wrong digits, so treat the extracted figures as a draft to proofread, not a settled total.
The tool first converts the printed characters in the image into text. How clean that read is depends almost entirely on the photo: straight, flat, well-lit receipts with dark ink on light paper extract reliably, while crumpled paper, glare from glossy thermal stock, low light, or motion blur produce characters the reader commonly confuses, most often digits such as 0 and 8 or 5 and 6.
The recognized text is then split into the requested fields by where each piece sits on the receipt: the merchant near the top, the date beside or below it, item lines in the middle, and total with tax at the bottom. Line items are the least predictable because every store lays out its item section differently, while the total, usually the largest figure near the bottom, is the most consistently recovered.
Not reliably. The reader is built for printed text, and handwriting, especially digits written quickly, tends to come back misread or dropped entirely. For handwritten slips, typing the figures in yourself is faster and safer than correcting OCR output you cannot trust.
No. The scan runs entirely in your browser, so the image and the extracted fields are processed on your machine and nothing is uploaded. That is a deliberate fit for this tool: receipts carry dates, amounts, and sometimes partial card numbers, which most people prefer to keep local.
