Receipt Scanner - Digitize Your Paper Receipts with AI

Receipt Scanner Interface

Have you ever wished you could quickly digitize those paper receipts piling up in your wallet or drawer? Our new Receipt Scanner service makes this possible with just a photo! Using advanced AI technology, it extracts and structures receipt data automatically.

How It Works

The process is simple yet powerful:

  1. Upload a photo of your receipt
  2. Google Cloud Vision API extracts the text using OCR
  3. Gemini AI processes and structures the data
  4. Get back organized receipt information in JSON format

Key Features

  • Simple Interface: Just upload a photo - no complex setup needed
  • Advanced OCR: Powered by Google Cloud Vision for accurate text extraction
  • Smart Parsing: AI-powered recognition of items, quantities, and prices
  • Structured Output: Clean JSON format for easy data processing
  • Free Service: Available to everyone (with daily usage limits)

Current Limitations

As this is a pilot project, there are some initial constraints:

  • 5 scans per day per user
  • Basic receipt format support
  • English language receipts only
