English Receipts

Optimized for English-language receipts from stores and restaurants.

Smart Parsing

Extracts store, date, items, prices, tax, and total automatically.

100% Private

All OCR runs in your browser. Financial data never leaves your device.

What it extracts

Uses Tesseract.js OCR to read printed text from receipt photos. Extracts store names, item lines, prices, totals, dates, and payment information. Structured text output can be copied or downloaded. Processing happens entirely in your browser — no receipt data is sent anywhere.

Tips for accuracy

Photograph receipts on a flat surface with even lighting. Avoid shadows and folds across text. Higher resolution photos produce better results. Thermal receipt paper fades over time — scan receipts soon after purchase for best text quality. For general text extraction, see our Text Scanner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information can the receipt scanner extract?

The scanner attempts to identify the store name, transaction date, individual line items with prices, subtotal, tax amount, and the grand total. Accuracy depends on receipt clarity and format — standard printed receipts work best.

Is my receipt data uploaded to a server?

No. All OCR and parsing happens entirely in your browser. Your receipt images and extracted financial data never leave your device. We never see your purchases, amounts, or store information.

Why are some items missing or incorrect?

Receipt formats vary widely between stores and countries. Our parser uses pattern matching to identify prices and items, but unusual layouts, faded print, or poor image quality can affect results. You can always check the raw OCR text for the full extracted content.

What languages are supported?

The receipt scanner currently supports English receipts only. The parsing engine relies on English keywords (total, subtotal, tax, etc.) to identify receipt structure. For non-English documents, try our Text Scanner (OCR) which supports 100+ languages for raw text extraction.

How do I get the best scan results?

Place the receipt on a flat, dark surface with good lighting. Avoid shadows and creases. Take the photo directly above (not at an angle) and crop tightly to the receipt edges. Higher resolution images produce better results.

Can I scan multiple receipts at once?

Currently, you can scan one receipt at a time. For multiple receipts, scan each one separately. You can copy or download the parsed data after each scan for your records.

Does this work with handwritten receipts?

The scanner works best with printed thermal or inkjet receipts. Handwritten receipts may partially work depending on legibility, but the parsing engine is optimized for standard printed receipt formats.
