Receipt Scanner Scan receipts, review OCR, and export organized PDF reports.
Android Receipt Workflow

Capture paper receipts and turn them into a PDF archive you can actually use.

Receipt Scanner is built around a practical flow that already exists in the app code: scan one receipt, review the extracted merchant, date, tax, and total fields, add tags or notes, then export polished PDF reports for monthly records and follow-up use.

  • Single-receipt capture flow with OCR and field suggestions before saving.
  • Manual cleanup tools for merchant, totals, project labels, custom tags, and notes.
  • Saved receipts grouped by month, searchable, and ready for export.
  • PDF export includes summary totals, categories, and receipt images in one report.

Designed for a simple workflow instead of accounting-system bloat: scan, confirm, organize, export.
Capture Camera-based receipt intake The app starts from a real scan-first flow instead of requiring manual record entry.
Review Field candidates before save Date and amount candidates are surfaced so you can fix OCR mistakes while the receipt is fresh.
Organize Monthly grouping and searchable details Saved receipts are grouped by month and enriched with tags, project labels, notes, and OCR text.
Export Summary plus receipt images in PDF The export flow builds a report with totals, category breakdowns, and the actual receipt visuals.

Built from the actual in-app workflow

The homepage copy here maps to what the Android project already does today: capture a receipt, review detected values, enrich it with context, and export a report. No fake team dashboards. No imaginary cloud workspace.

1
Capture a receipt image The scan flow requests camera access, stores the captured image, and passes it into OCR for extraction.
2
Review merchant, date, tax, and total The review screen exposes candidate values, editable fields, and manual cleanup before anything is saved.
3
Add context that OCR cannot know Use tags, custom tags, project labels, and notes to make receipts easier to search and group later.
4
Export a monthly PDF archive Create a report that combines totals, category summaries, and receipt image pages in one document.

What the app already supports

This page highlights capabilities directly visible in the codebase: OCR parsing, editable review fields, saved receipt detail views, category chips, and PDF export layouts.

OCR Review
Receipt text extraction with fallback logic The OCR service compares recognition results and tries to extract merchant names, dates, taxes, and totals from the text it finds.
Editable Save Flow
Correct values before they become part of your archive The review screen lets you change merchant, date, total, tax, project, notes, and tags before saving the final record.
Searchable Records
Stored receipts keep more than just a total Saved entries preserve OCR text, notes, tags, month grouping, and related metadata so records remain useful later.
Receipt Detail
Reopen and edit saved records The detail view shows the saved image, category, totals, tags, project info, notes, and an export action for individual receipts.
Monthly Export
Generate PDF reports for the current month The export flow gathers all receipts in the current month and packages them into a single PDF report.
Report Layout
Summary tables plus receipt image pages The PDF builder renders totals, categories, date range, and image-backed receipt cards rather than only dumping raw text.
What goes into the PDF export The codebase’s PDF generator creates more than a flat export. It includes a summary page, category totals, tax total, grand total, receipt counts, and image-backed pages for each saved receipt.
Summary totals Category breakdown Receipt images Monthly range
Monthly overview Receipts are grouped by month in the app and the export flow targets the current month for one clean reporting cycle.
Single receipt export The detail screen can also export a PDF from one stored receipt when you need a focused report instead of the full month.

Why this flow is practical

Receipt Scanner is not trying to become a full accounting suite. It is useful because it keeps the path short while still leaving room to review OCR and produce a presentable file at the end.

Faster than manual spreadsheet entry You start from an image and only clean up the fields that matter instead of typing each receipt from scratch.
More trustworthy than blind OCR save The app surfaces candidate values for dates and totals, which is a better fit for messy receipt scans.
Better for record keeping than a camera roll Tags, notes, project labels, and exportable PDFs make receipts easier to reuse after they are captured.

Good fit for simple receipt-heavy workflows

The app fits people who mainly need to capture, label, and export receipts without adding subscriptions, shared workspaces, or a large finance stack in the first version.

Freelance expense tracking Attach project names and notes, then export a clean monthly PDF for your own records or follow-up reporting.
Travel and reimbursement prep Collect meal, office, or travel receipts and organize them before packaging one report for review.
Personal receipt archiving Keep a searchable history of saved receipts instead of losing them inside a photo gallery.

Privacy and support

The current app build already emphasizes storage and privacy in Settings, and this site pairs that with direct support links for review-safe product presence.

Need help or want the privacy policy? Support email, public website, and privacy policy are all available so the app has the basic public-facing assets expected for launch preparation.

Common questions

These answers are grounded in what the current Android project exposes rather than future roadmap guesses.

Does it only store photos?

No. The current flow stores receipt records with OCR text, tags, notes, project metadata, and saved totals alongside the image.

Can I fix OCR mistakes?

Yes. The review screen and saved detail view both support editing important fields instead of forcing a one-shot OCR result.

What kind of export does it create?

The app generates PDF reports with summary tables, totals, categories, and receipt image pages, not just a text dump.
