OCR reads every line of text from the photo, then a heuristic extractor looks for dates (multiple format patterns), money amounts (with currency symbols and decimals), tax keywords (VAT, TAX, GST, sales tax) and line items (lines ending in a money pattern). The largest amount near a "total" keyword is treated as the receipt total.
technicalVendor (first non-empty line, usually the store name), dates (every date pattern found), total (best guess), tax amount, currency (USD/EUR/GBP/JPY/INR detected from symbols), and a list of line items with descriptions and amounts. Output is JSON-ready for bookkeeping, expense reports or CRM imports.
featuresYes — the same field-extraction logic applies to both. Itemised invoices with line descriptions and amounts produce richer item lists; thermal-printed receipts work too, though stretched/faded thermal paper photographs can lose accuracy.
usageCommon causes: the receipt was photographed at an angle (so OCR misreads numbers as letters), the total line uses a non-English word like "TOTAL" written in a different language, or the printed receipt has faded thermal text. Re-take the photo straight-on with good lighting and the OCR should pick it up.
tipsThe extractor recognises USD ($), EUR (€), GBP (£), JPY (¥), INR (₹) from currency symbols in the receipt text. The numeric values themselves are not converted — the user (or downstream system) should apply exchange rates if needed.
featuresYes — download the JSON and pipe it into QuickBooks, Xero, Concur or a custom expense API. The structure is stable: vendor, dates[], total, tax, currency, items[{description, amount}]. Build a small mapping script and you have automated receipt entry.
tipsYes — to our OCR service, processed in isolation, and deleted within 24 hours. We do not retain receipts or use them for training. For very sensitive expense reports (private investigations, journalism), consider running OCR locally.
privacyFree during beta, no daily cap, no signup. The structured JSON has no watermark or branding.
pricingHow Receipt Extractor helps you get it done
Real problems it solves every day — for businesses, creators, and everyday tasks. Find the use case that fits you and start in seconds.
Automated Expense Reporting
Snap every business receipt at the moment of purchase. The extracted JSON feeds directly into Concur, Expensify or QuickBooks via API — no manual data entry, no end-of-month receipt-pile panic.
Personal Budgeting
Track grocery and household spending by category. Extract every receipt into JSON and aggregate by week or month in a spreadsheet or budgeting app — way faster than manual entry.
Tax Deduction Tracking
For freelancers and small business owners, every deductible receipt matters. Extract structured data throughout the year, then export to CSV at tax time for the CPA.
Restaurant Tip Tracking
Servers and bartenders working multiple shifts can extract their daily receipts to track tips, tip-outs and totals. Reconciles cleanly against the POS report at end of shift.
Reimbursable Travel
After a business trip, scan and extract every transport, meal and accommodation receipt. The JSON can be templated into an expense report in minutes instead of an hour of manual transcription.
Spending Analytics for Co-living & Roommates
Track shared household spending by extracting every receipt before splitting. Removes "did I pay for this?" arguments and produces an auditable monthly summary.
