How OCR Extraction Works

1. Capture Image

Use your phone camera to take a photo. Auto-crop detects receipt edges. Image enhanced for clarity.

2. AI Text Recognition

OCR engine reads all text on the receipt. Works with thermal prints, handwritten notes, multiple languages.

3. Smart Field Extraction

AI identifies vendor name, total amount, date, and tax. Learns from corrections to improve accuracy.

4. Auto-Categorization

Based on vendor name, expense is categorized (Meals, Transport, Lodging). User can override if needed.
