The problem

After every shopping trip, you're left with a paper receipt that tells you what you spent — after the money is already gone. Manually logging items is tedious and never sticks.

Key benefits

  • Automatic OCR extraction of every line item
  • No manual data entry required
  • Build a complete spending history over time
  • Categorize expenses and spot spending patterns
  • Export data to CSV or PDF

How the receipt scanner works

1

Snap a photo of your receipt

After checkout, take a clear photo of your paper receipt. TallyCart's OCR engine processes the image.

2

OCR extracts every line item

The scanner reads product names, individual prices, quantities, subtotals, taxes, and the final total.

3

Data is organized automatically

Items are categorized and added to your spending history. No manual sorting or tagging needed.

4

Review and track over time

Your receipt history builds automatically. Browse past trips, compare spending, and export data whenever you need it.

What information is extracted from your receipt?

  • Product names — each item name as printed on the receipt
  • Individual prices — the price of each item you purchased
  • Quantities — how many of each item you bought
  • Subtotals — running subtotals if printed on the receipt
  • Taxes — sales tax and any other applicable taxes
  • Final total — the total amount you paid
  • Purchase date — the date and time of the transaction
  • Store name — the store or retailer name when available
