OCR Receipt Scanning
Learn how to scan receipts and automatically parse individual items.
Settlr features an advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) scanner that allows you to upload photos of receipts and automatically extract the items, quantities, and prices.
How to Scan a Receipt
- Navigate to your Ledger page.
- Tap Add Expense.
- Select Scan Receipt (or upload an image/PDF).
- Take a clear photo of the receipt or select one from your photo library.
- Settlr will process the image and display a list of detected items.
- Verify the item names and prices, assign splits, and tap Save.
Tips for Best Scanning Results
- Flat Surface: Keep the receipt as flat and straight as possible.
- Good Lighting: Ensure there is adequate lighting without harsh shadows or glare.
- Focus & Resolution: Keep your camera focused on the text. Avoid blurry images.
- Crop Intelligently: Crop the image to focus only on the item names, prices, and totals.
Manual Adjustments
While the OCR scanner is highly accurate, handwritten text or crinkled receipts can occasionally cause minor errors. You can easily edit item names, modify prices, or manually add missing items before finalizing the expense.
